E-Safety Awareness Training for Parents & Staff
OUR PROGRAMMES ARE ALWAYS MOST EFFECTIVE IF THEY INCLUDE A SESSION FOR PARENTS... (usually lasting about 75 to 90 minutes, depending upon the number of questions parents have.)
The pupils' sessions can be followed by either
- a staff twilight session and then a parents' evening session, or
- a combined staff and parents' session, either as a twilight or evening event.
This presentation for adults pulls no punches – setting out the dangers to which young people are exposing themselves, identifying signs of concern and aiming to provide some tools for staff and parents. We illustrate the approach we have used with KS2, KS3 and KS4/5, so that parents are aware of the input their children have received, but the parents' session leaves nothing to the imagination!
The specific objectives of the staff & parents session(s) are:
- To raise awareness of the manner in which young people use the internet (& mobile phones)
- To consider the size of the issue now and in the future
- To raise awareness of the language of textspeak
- To increase understanding of the signs of vulnerability
- To provide tools with which to safeguard children and young people in their use of the internet (& mobile phones)
