Central E-Safety Partnership has transformed into WIZE – Digital Wellbeing

The Health and Wellbeing work stream within our RIC has taken on the hosting of online safety resources from the ‘Central E-safety Partnership’ blog and Facebook page, which will soon both close. The Partnership has now been rebranded as ‘WIZE- Digital Wellbeing’ and can be accessed here within our FVWL RIC blog space.

WIZE is made up of representatives of Police Scotland, and Clackmannanshire, Falkirk, Stirling and West Lothian Councils, as well as Further Education and Higher Education and third-sector organisations serving the Clackmannanshire, Falkirk, Stirling and West Lothian Council areas.

WIZE will continue to help celebrate positive and safe uses of the Internet, mobile and digital technology, to reduce online and e-crime and risk of harm to children, young people, adults, and vulnerable groups in the Clackmannanshire, Falkirk, Stirling and West Lothian Council areas.

We are currently migrating relevant resources to the WIZE blog area and will also be adding fresh ones, so please check back regularly for up-to-date online safety resources and best practice ideas.

Collaboration

Our RIC is built on a culture of collaboration. We welcome any sharing of resources or best practice with regards to online safety to disseminate across our four local authorities. You are the innovators, so we really want to hear what you have been doing to promote digital wellbeing. Contact us using the forms on the Digital Wellbeing landing page and use our hashtag #FVWLwize in your Tweets to highlight the great work you are doing!
