Primary Online Safety Evening
A 1 hour presentation for parents about online safety for primary aged children.
The situation
Parents of primary aged children often feel a step behind the apps and games their children use. A Hertfordshire primary school held an evening to help.
What we did
Before the evening the school's pupils answered a short survey about the devices, apps and games they use, with 160 responses. We built the hour around those answers.
It covered video sites, messaging apps, online games, making friends with strangers and how to report a concern, internet filters at home, house rules for devices and digital footprints, with activities for parents along the way. The message was to manage the risk and keep talking, not to ban the technology.

What was delivered
A pupil survey before the evening
A 1 hour presentation with activities for parents
Sam prepared a very relevant and detailed presentation for parents of primary aged children. His work beforehand ensured he was addressing the subjects and Apps that our children are accessing and he made sure parents knew to talk to their children and not just stop them using technology. A very informative and pertinent presentation.
