HOMEWORK FOR ALL PUPILS:  

Before the sessions, the company asks that all pupils fill in an short online survey about their online behaviour, which will allow them to tailor the sessions accordingly. All responses are anonymous and should take 1-2 minutes per pupil to complete. It can be done in school or the link can be sent home to parents  

 please click here:  http://tiny.cc/PeterN S This link will be sent on the parents email but please remind children to do this survey and possibly assign it for homework to ensure it is done.   

Some additional information about the webinar:  

• It is an interactive workshop designed to protect and empower children. 

• Each session is targeted to the appropriate age group and is focused on equipping children with core digital literacy skills (including understanding how to navigate social media, messaging apps, gaming, how to protect personal data and their digital footprint, healthy balance, online reputation and cyberbullying). 

• Children will be asked to fill in a short, anonymous survey, which enables the talk provider to tailor a bespoke and unique talk, based on their specific online usage and behaviours.
