Children and young people have a wealth of technologies to use at their fingertips and it’s important to remember there are lots of fantastic reasons for your children to be online but obviously there are risks. In my Cyber Safety sessions whether taught to pupils, students, parents or staff I always give as much age appropriate, relevant, up to the minute information that I can squeeze in to build awareness of the risks of life online in today’s digital world, along with practical tips on what to do about them so everyone can be safe and happy on the internet and on moblie devices and improve their digital literacy.
