Tuesday February 7 2012 is Safer Internet Day. During the week, the students will be viewing videos about this topic in assembly. CEOP, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, who produce these videos, have also organised a programme of activities aimed at parents. They have produced a tongue-in-cheek trailer about activities on this day which can be seen by clicking here.
On 7 February, this will be followed by the release of 'The Parents and Carers Guide to the Internet', an entertaining and light-hearted look at what it takes to be an online parent. This can be viewed using the same link.
With interviews from experts including Prof. Tanya Byron and Dr. Linda Papadopoulos, industry players like Facebook and Moshi Monsters and, most importantly, children themselves, this TV-style show aims to answer all of the tricky questions parents may be afraid to ask. The CEOP team will be available to interact with parents and carers from 6 to 9pm on Tuesday 7 February to discuss the challenges they face as their children grow up online by posting on the ClickCEOP Facebook fan page, tweeting @CEOPUK or including #parentsguide in their posts on Twitter.
