About this course

A course for adults concerned with keeping their children safer online. Introducing the 3 Cs: Content, Contact and Conduct and how they relate to a child’s experience on the internet.

Due to the nature of the discussions, it is a course for parents only.

What will be covered on the course?

Content: Safe image search, PEGI game ratings
Contact: Online predators: how they build trust and then coerce and blackmail their victims. Online bullies and ‘trolls’
Conduct: Awareness of your own child’s online behaviour. What risks might they be taking? Addiction, illegal downloads/file sharing, bullying other users.

What will learners achieve by the end of the course?

Learners will understand a range of ways to keep their children safe from inappropriate content.
Leaners will recognise the warning signs of predatory behaviour: this will help them have discussions with their children about who they can trust online and when to be cautious.
Learners will be more aware of any online behaviour which might have legal and/or financial implications.

Please note this course does not involve any ‘hands on’ computer use. Some familiarity with browsing websites and reading emails will be beneficial.
