E-Safety Awareness Training for Parents & Staff

We offer face to face training in schools and other venues, as this seems to be more successful in encouraging interaction and discussion. However, we also offer the same training remotely, using Microsoft Teams or Zoom.

OUR PROGRAMMES ARE ALWAYS MOST EFFECTIVE IF THEY INCLUDE A SESSION FOR PARENTS... (usually lasting about 90 minutes, depending upon the number of questions parents have.)

 IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT THE PARENTS' SESSION IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN

"Paul pitched the workshop just right to engage and inform our students of the key issues surrounding the use of technology today and most importantly getting them thinking about how they can protect themselves. Student and parent feedback was really positive and all said their understanding of e-safety has improved as a result of the workshop. The accompanying booklets were also excellent." SMSC/PSHCRE Co-ordinator - John Ferneley Academy, Melton Mowbray

The pupils' sessions can be followed by either

a (90 minutes) staff twilight session and then a (90 minutes) parents' evening session, or
a (90 minutes) combined staff and parents' session, either as a twilight or evening event.
This can also be arranged at  morning drop off time, or at a weekend (for boarding schools and other residential settings).

This presentation is for adults only as it 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)
