Staying safe online - Intellectual Property for teachers

In today’s connected environment young people regularly create and use intellectual property (IP), be it copyright, trade marks, designs or patents when they access and develop online content independently.

Learning about the intellectual property rights helps children to understand the importance of innovation and creativity including how it relates to their own activity such as downloading films and music or even creating digital content themselves.

IPO Education provides free education resources, competitions and games to demonstrate why IP is relevant to young people and their future careers.
