Book a Childnet visit

A shorter session for younger children lasting between 30 and 45 minutes. Our Education Officers tell the story of Salma the Seal and ensure key messages are embedded through a repeated short song and accompanying actions.

This content is designed to be used alongside our popular Smartie the Penguin resources.

Scenario and discussion based assembly style workshops tailored for either the 7-9 or 9-11 year old age group.

Both sessions include key messages around online friendships, gaming, videos, personal information, trust, bullying and grooming, and can be tailored to incorporate key issues for your setting.

Our secondary sessions are tailored for each year group and use realistic examples, video content and discussion to deliver key messages on relevant, topical and engaging issues.

Our Education Officers are confident in speaking on a range of issues including fake news & misinformation, online relationships, sexting, and more, meaning these sessions can easily be adapted to incorporate key issues for your setting.

Designed specifically with older students in mind, these sessions look at the power of the internet and tackle some of the big issues facing us all online. From online sexual harassment to data and privacy, these ‘meatier’ topics are designed to get young people thinking, whilst delivering practical advice without being patronising.

Our informative and empowering sessions for parents and carers equip them with practical advice and resources to help support their children in a digital age. Our Education Officers offer a friendly and reassuring face to help guide parents through risks such as grooming, bullying, fake news and sexting, whilst signposting them to invaluable tools for reporting, setting up parental controls and establishing a dialogue about online safety at home.

As online safety experts with a background in education all our presenters are ideally placed to support you with up-to-date staff training. Highlighting key research and emerging trends, our session delves into preventative education before focussing on statutory safeguarding requirements. We know how busy all teachers are, so work hard to make our sessions practical, engaging and informative.

We are really excited to be able to offer the full range of our standard sessions, now delivered live online.

Absolutely! We understand that every school or community is different, and are very happy to take into consideration the particular needs of your setting. We can also offer entirely bespoke sessions, although this may increase the cost.
