Professor Tanya Byron has launched new set of resources to help primary schools keep children safe online.
Developed through funding from the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA), Becta and the UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS) the resources have been designed to make sure all primary school employees are able to understand, tackle and teach e-safety issues to children. They include a unique learning animation aimed at young children. A full version is available at www.childnet.com/kia
The resources are part of a set of award-winning ‘Know IT All’ resources including ‘Know IT All for Parents’ which Childnet has produced, sponsored by Becta. They were developed as response to the recommendations made in the government-commissioned report by Tanya Byron, which called for greater effort on the part of schools and government to educate and support young people in using the internet and digital technologies.
