Pioneering e-safety resource helps children stay safe online |
‘Know IT All’ resource launched by child psychologist Professor Tanya Byron.
The interactive resources have been designed to empower all primary school employees to understand, tackle and teach e-safety issues to children.
The resources comes as a response to the recommendations made in the government-commissioned report by Tanya Byron. The report called for greater effort on the part of schools and government to educate and support young people in using the internet and digital technologies.
Tanya Byron said: “It is important that schools have the tools to make sure their students can surf the internet in a safe and informed way. The 'Know IT All' for Primary Schools resources give teachers the materials and information they need to communicate with children and show them how to be careful and, if necessary, manage risk.
“Young pupils will find it an exciting, engaging and memorable way to learn what they should and should not do when learning online.”
The resources have been developed through funding from the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA), Becta and the UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS). |
