Following growing concerns about the wellbeing of young people online – brought into sharper focus by Netflix drama Adolescence -Twinkl will make Natterhub, the highly regarded online safety platform, freely available to all schools.
Natterhub is specifically designed as an early intervention program that enables educators to engage primary-aged pupils to mitigate online challenges – such as those highlighted in Adolescence – in an age-appropriate way.
Natterhub empowers educators to lead meaningful discussions on crucial topics such as bullying, grooming, coercion, and the protection of personal data.
This initiative provides educators with a toolkit to deliver impactful and appropriate digital safety education, equipping pupils with the knowledge they need for an AI-focused future.
“Educators have been supporting pupils and families in this important area for many years, and we, at Twinkl, share the passion for preparing children for real world readiness,” said Jonathan Seaton, CEO at Twinkl.
“Natterhub offers a comprehensive solution for educators that aligns with our mission to foster safe and thriving learning environments for all young people.”
Caroline Allams, co-founder at Natterhub, added: “The primary school years are a critical period for social and emotional development, so we are proud to support educators to equip children to manage social and emotional scenarios in digital settings. Natterhub is all about the human aspects of being a digital citizen.”
Schools can find more information about the initiative on the Twinkl website and apply for 12 months of free access to Natterhub by completing the registration form here by April 30th, 2025.
