UK Online Safety Guidance in 2025

A teacher showing something on a laptop to a class of children.The online safety guidance provided to British schools is complex, and spread across a number of publications from several different organisations.  We have, once again, pulled all of this information together into a comprehensive up to date document, which you can download by clicking the link below, explaining what schools are expected to do to meet the online safety guidance for 2025.

This document is split into two main sections: the first aims to provide an overview of what has changed this year, and the second pulls together all of the online safety guidance from the multitude of separate documents, to provide a comprehensive reference as to what schools are expected to do.

Whilst we supply our own filtering and monitoring systems to schools, this document addresses the guidance in general, and should be applicable no matter the system your school uses.

If you have any questions, we are always happy to have a chat and you are welcome to email safeguarding@opendium.com.

We will also be continuing our well received series of online safety webinars over the coming year. If you are interested in attending one, please contact webinar@opendium.com.
