Digital Safety CIC and Framwellgate School Durham are pleased to announce the School Cyber Safety and Standards Conference, taking place on 15 October 2026. The event will bring together education leaders, cyber security specialists and key sector partners to explore digital risks, resilience and the Department for Education’s Digital and Technology Standards.

The reported cyber attack on the Department for Education is another stark reminder that the education sector must treat cyber resilience as a safeguarding priority. Schools, academy trusts and local authorities need practical support, strong governance and clear standards to protect sensitive information and build confidence in the safe use of technology.
