Below are CEOPs plans for Safer Internet Day and their training plans for 2009.

1.) Safer Internet Day 2009

CEOP will be producing a pack of resources especially for the SID week (available for download).

Professionals can register on the thinkuknow website if they are interested in receiving information, guidance and the pack.

Our Mission:

To get all UK schools involved in SID 2009! This is the perfect opportunity to introduce internet safety to students or to consolidate the teaching already implemented.

Method:

To mark European Safer Internet Day, schools can download a pack of resources including brand new stand alone KS2 and 3 assemblies (which will be launched on the day). CEOP will be also be signposting to all the resources schools will need for SID 2009 including those focussed on cyberbullying and other issues. We would also like to hear your plans for the week.

Get it in your school diary NOW! February 2009 How do I get access to the Safer Internet Day Assemblies? Go to http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/teachers/sid09.aspx <http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/teachers/sid09.aspx> , register and we will keep you up-to-date with developments. You will be able to download the resource pack early February 2009.

Ambassador Training – (Full Day – ?125)

Once you have completed the training you will be able to train your colleagues in the 11 -16 year old Thinkuknow education resource. You will also receive a certificate.
