Calling all Parents & Carers....

Are you concerned for your children and their ever growing tech knowledge? We understand how intimidating it can be. Growing up in a digital world, many young people are incredibly comfortable with technology. This can lead to curiosity about how it all works – and sometimes, how it can be manipulated. What might start as harmless fun, like hacking into a game, can easily escalate into illegal activities such as data theft, ransomware, or Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.

 

The Cyber Choices programme was created to help people make informed choices and to use their cyber skills in a legal way.
 

The aims of the programme are:
* Explaining the difference between legal and illegal cyber activity
* Encouraging individuals to make informed choices in their use of technology
* Increasing awareness of the Computer Misuse Act 1990
* Promoting positive, legal cyber opportunities and career pathways

Attached is a Flyer suitable for printing and sharing.  We have also created a Padlet full of helpful resources that explain all about the support we can offer and how to refer to the team. Follow the link below.....
