- Webinar on privacy and data security in online learning and teaching. The Hungarian Safer Internet Centre organised a webinar with online safety experts on 8 April 2020 to raise awareness of the importance of privacy and data security during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to remote emergency teaching, data protection for children is becoming more important than ever before. However, teachers and students are sharing personal data on a plethora of platforms and tools that they are not very familiar with. You can watch a recording of the webinar on the International Children's Safety Service's YouTube channel.
- Information from the National Data Protection and Freedom of Information Authority about data management in online education. During the COVID-19 pandemic, online safety is especially important because children are receiving their lessons online. The International Children's Safety Service recommends that parents and children pay particular attention to data protection during these days.
The Hungarian Safer Internet Centre also provides helpline services allowing children and young people, and parents and carers to access personalised advice and support. Equally, it provides a hotline for reporting any illegal content you mind find online. Don't hesitate to contact them in case of need!
In addition, we'll be bringing you a range of articles and insights on the opportunities and challenges of being online during COVID-19 in the coming days and weeks.
