Who is the Staying Safe Online poster for?
Staying Safe Online belongs to the Practical skills section rather than to a school year, because life skills is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning safety can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Staying Safe Online poster?
A password manager and two-factor authentication prevent the large majority of it. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Staying Safe Online belongs on the wall where that life skills work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Staying Safe Online?
Carbon Monoxide, Household Chemicals and Child Safety at Home sit alongside Staying Safe Online in the Practical skills section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Carbon MonoxideHousehold ChemicalsChild Safety at Home
Is the Staying Safe Online poster free to download and print?
Yes. Staying Safe Online downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Practical skills section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Staying Safe Online poster print at?
Staying Safe Online is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Staying Safe Online loses nothing.Printing guide
