Mission: To get your school involved! This is the perfect opportunity to introduce internet safety to students or to consolidate on teaching you have already implemented.
Method: Get it in your school diary NOW! 11-22 February
Between the 11 and 22nd Feb run one or more of the FREE DOWNLOADABLE CEOP school assemblies. Creative and innovative assemblies addressing internet and mobile safety that only take a maximum of 15 minutes! How do I get access to the assemblies? You will be able to download the assembly presentation and instructions from the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre’s young people website: www.thinkuknow.co.uk. The assemblies will be available for download from Mid January 2008.
Key Stage 1
The Key Stage 1 assembly is a snappy 10 minute introduction to internet safety. Animated characters will come alive to teach students about cyber-respect, the risks involved with giving out personal information online, meeting up in the real world and the key message of telling a trusted adult if anything is worrying or bothering them.
Key Stage 2
The Key Stage 2 assembly will use the never seen before Virtual Global Taskforce TV- commercial, to illustrate that you never really know who someone online is. The 90 second commercial shows an offender pretending to be a child, a police man posing as a child to engage with the offender and eventually the offender being tricked; just as he was trying to trick a young person. The TV commercial is edgy, modern and engaging.
Key Stage 3/4
The Key Stage 3/4 assembly will be based on a film which illustrates that you never really know who someone online really is. The film uses modern music and funky editing to give a real life perspective. This film has been piloted to more than 2500 students across the UK and the positive response from young people has been outstanding!
