Description
Digital technologies are now part of everyday life, with children accessing the Internet at increasingly younger ages. Ensuring their online safety requires educators and parents to understand the risks and promote safe digital habits.
This course focuses on cyber safety and digital responsibility, providing participants with essential skills to recognise threats such as malware, phishing, and identity theft.
Participants will learn to use communication platforms safely, identify risky behaviours, and maintain secure systems. Emphasis is placed on applying this knowledge in educational settings and promoting best practices within school communities.
