More Dates for Safer Internet Training

This session introduces you to the Cyber Choices programme, led by the National Crime Agency, and delivered locally by SEROCU (the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit). Cyber Choices is a programme that supports those people at risk of committing computer misuse offences, such as hacking. These risks are far more real than most people recognise, with around 1 in 4 young people admitting to committing low-harm cybercrimes, perhaps without even realising what they were doing was illegal.
Ideally suited to parents/carers of children in Year 3 (age 7) and above, all the way up to college, university and beyond, this session will help parents and carers to understand what computer misuse is, what the risks to young people are, to recognise some of the indicators that young people may be involved in committing cybercrimes, and how the Cyber Choices programme supports at-risk individuals.

These webinars are best suited to parents of children in KS2 (aged 7) and above.

Safer Internet Online Training

Next week, to support Safer Internet Day, the Regional Organised Crime Unit will be running a parent webinar explaining Cyber Choices and the risks to young people of committing computer misuse offences.

This risk is now a Safeguarding risk, named within Keeping Children Safe in Education, so to try and further raise awareness of this, we want to reach out and explain to parents/guardians - as well as safeguarding leads and partner agencies through our other presentations – just how young people can cross the line into cyber crime.

We will be running this webinar three times throughout next week, at the following times:

Tuesday 6^th February 13:00-14:00

Thursday 8^th February 09:30-10:30

Thursday 8^th February 20:00-21:00
