With children spending more time online during lockdown, we wanted to share some resources you may find helpful at home. ThinkUKnow is the national online safety education programme from CEOP, the online child protection command of the National Crime Agency. They produce some great material which we use to teach online safety at school and they have developed weekly home activity packs for each age group to keep those important online safety conversations going at home. Click on the link below to access the home activity worksheets for your child:

4-5s

5-7s

8-11s

We also want to draw your attention to their Parent Info article which signposts what to do and where to report if you see something online which concerns you:
