About The Course
Annual Certificate in Online Safety for Parents & Carers of Children aged 7-11
Course Duration: 33m (approx) online training + self-directed learning and activities + final assessment.
Children aged between 7 and 11 start to become more aware of the possibilities of the internet and begin to make decisions about what they would like to do online which is usually either influenced by their peers or by their interests. As they start to become more independent, and start to access different things, it’s important parents 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 Heather Cardwell, experienced online safety lead and senior school leader, the course is split into five modules. The course consists of learning through video modules, completion of tasks, further reading and viewing external resources. Please consider this when planning and allocating your time. To successfully understand and achieve the objectives of the course, learners are expected to engage in all aspects of the learning process and complete all relevant activities to ensure they can successfully apply the knowledge and skills they have gained in their own setting.
