Seven A3 posters for staff rooms, offices and the wall by the door — phishing, passwords, two-step sign-in, what to do after a wrong click, and the scams that arrive by phone or invoice. Free to download and print, no email address required, and free to share with other schools.
They are written on one deliberate principle: a poster that scolds makes a school less safe, because fear suppresses the exact behaviour that protects everyone — somebody putting their hand up and saying “I clicked it”. Every sheet here ends somewhere forgiving, and the reporting poster says in terms that nobody is in trouble for reporting. Put that one by the door.
They work best as part of an actual awareness plan rather than wallpaper — rotate them, mention them in briefings, and pair them with a reporting route staff can name. That is also what the DfE’s cyber awareness expectation is really asking for, and the complete guide explains where awareness fits among everything else.
Print them, put them on the wall, keep them
A3, ready to print. No sign-up and no email address — take them whether you are a customer or not. Written for UK schools, so the examples are a supplier invoice and a message from the Head, not a generic bank.
