Safeguarding Your Child
Online safety – CEOP support for parents over Christmas
This December, the National Crime Agency’s CEOP Education team will be posting a series of tips across X and Facebook called #SaferByChristmas.
#SaferByChristmas starts on 9th December 2024 and will share 12 days of quick, easy actions for parents and carers to take to better protect their children online.
Each post will share actions that can be taken both for the 4 to 10 year old age range and 11 to 17 year olds.
#SaferByChristmas aims to increase the protective capabilities of parents and carers, particularly at a time of year when many children and young people are gifted new devices and when online usage increases with schools closed for the festive break.
Online Safety Workshop for Parents
The new Keeping Children Safe Online workshop from the NSPCC provides parents and carers with information about how to support their child in their online world. The 40 minute pre-recorded presentation covers topics such as online bullying, mental health, and social media, as well as signposting to resources and organisations for help and support.
