In a world where technology is moving at a fast pace, it is more important now than ever to teach online safety in schools. With the publication of the Teaching Online Safety in Schools document, and the Education for a Connected World Framework, local authority schools, academies and free schools in England should be thinking about ways they can enrich their curriculum to teach a deeper understanding of online behaviour in their lessons.

We've added a new department to the business, 2Simple Wellbeing. The role of this new department is to expand our range of wellbeing resources for schools, raise money for good causes, and promote the wellbeing of our own staff.

At 2Simple we already have trained Mental Health First Aiders that our staff can speak to if they are concerned about their mental health. But we also wanted to do more to actively promote positive wellbeing. And that’s why we’re pleased to introduce you to our new wellbeing team!

On Wednesday November 27th at 4:30pm three members of the 2Simple team will be getting waxed to raise money for Duchenne UK.

Staff were introduced to Purple Mash at Hillside School after being identified by Aberdeenshire Council as a school who would be enthusiastic and keen to welcome a pilot. This was led by Fiona Lindsay and started after the Spring break. Fiona had previously used Purple Mash when it had been available through Glow. Staff were positive about using the resources available to them.
