NOS Annual Award in Online Safety For Parents & Carers

At Crescent we work hard to ensure that all of our pupils feel as safe, secure and confident as possible when dipping their toes into the online world that we live in, and obviously as parents you too want to take a keen interest and active role in their digital journeys too. This can however be a very daunting prospect, having to identify and pre-empt potential risks, establishing a culture of online safety at home, and most crucially striking an important balance between promoting the positive use of the internet while simultaneously keeping your children safe from harm.

For this reason, National Online Safety have created their Annual Award in Online Safety for Parents & Carers, a completely free course designed to provide parents with the knowledge and skills needed to feel confident and empowered in keeping children safe online. Developed by educational safeguarding experts, and presented by the lovely Myleene Klass, it’s a great place to start if you would like further support as well as useful hints and tips.
