Young people are growing up in an increasingly digital world and are exposed to both the opportunities and risks of the internet. These free resources from the NCSS (National Cyber Security Centre) will empower them to make smart decisions about staying secure online.
CyberFirst: How to stay secure online (11- 14 year olds)
- Practitioner Factsheet
- Practitioner Guidance
- An interactive video resource
- Three lesson plans (Quality Assured by the PSHE Association*)
The resources support the school curricula by linking in with key learning objectives. However, the resources would also work in more informal settings such as youth groups or clubs. (See the delivery guidance document for curriculum mapping).
CyberSprinters – CyberSprinters is an award-winning interactive online security resource for 7-11 year olds. Pupils access the digital game via a phone, tablet or desktop device. A suite of classroom activities supports teaching and learning. Parents and carers can also try the CyberSprinter puzzles with their children at home!
