This badge is awarded to people who demonstrate their understanding of online safety and security by completing the first seven badges from our Online Safety and Security series.
In a continuously evolving digital world, it has never been so important that social service employers and workers are suitably equipped to remain safe and secure online, whilst developing its digital capabilities.
People who use services should expect and be enabled to take advantage of the digital opportunities in society, in a safe and secure manner.
We created the Online Safety and Security (OSS) series of badges to help you learn about and demonstrate how you can keep yourself and others safe.
You can earn this badge by completing all eight of the badges from this series. These badges are shown below.
