Design

Use this to create posters, infographics, cards, diagrams or campaign visuals.

Video

How to Support Learners

Emphasise safety and privacy. Learners should never record real passwords, recovery codes, private account names or sensitive screenshots. A fictional profile is a strong alternative to a personal audit.

What to Look For

Successful work should include a basics checklist, safe profile or audit, priority improvement plan, incident response section and final guide that uses clear non-technical language.

Differentiation Opportunities

To simplify, provide a fictional user profile and starter checklist. To extend, ask learners to make two versions of the guide for different audiences or collect feedback on clarity and usefulness.

Real-World Connections

Digital security habits matter in school, home, work and community life. The same skills are used by IT support, cyber awareness teams, safeguarding teams, small businesses and public services.
