The internet is an invaluable tool for discovery and learning, but it can also be a dangerous place for the most vulnerable among us. Whether you are a teacher, in school administration, a parent, or you work with children in another capacity, this course will teach you how to better protect those too young to protect themselves — from cyberbullying to identity theft, today’s children face threats that simply did not exist for previous generations.
Across 10 modules, this Safeguarding Children on the Internet course teaches you how to create an open dialogue with children about the potential hazards of internet use, and how to recognise the warning signs if a child is being bullied or abused in their online interactions.
