Online Safety for Parents of Kids aged 3+ (International)

Delivered by a female presenter

Course Duration: 105 minutes (approx.)

Children aged between 3 and 7 are at the beginning of their journey through life with technology. It’s through these formative years that they learn to understand what they can access online, how they can access it and how it can benefit them, so it’s important for parents to take an active interest in their children’s safety online.

Our annual online safety training for parents and carers provides you with the knowledge and skills you need to feel confident and empowered to help keep children safe online.

Split into bite-sized modules, the training has been designed to provide maximum learning potential in the leanest, most cost-effective and most time-efficient manner. It has been produced in high-quality remote video CPD format which is accessible on any device, any time, anywhere.

Developed by Philippa Wraithmell, Award-winning global digital transformation specialist and Apple Distinguished Educator, the course is split into five modules and encourages parent interaction to support and embed learning. There is also a knowledge assessment at the end to help consolidate your knowledge.
