Internet Safety Webinar for Parents

This Thursday night, June 4th at 7:15pm, we will host an online Zoom webinar for parents and guardians of children from all classes.

The webinar will provide practical, non-technical advice on keeping children safe online. This informative and engaging session will be presented by Ger Brick, who has over 20 years' experience working online and has delivered internet safety workshops to more than 90,000 primary school children across Ireland.

We strongly encourage at least one parent or guardian from every family to attend.    

Ger will explore the current online landscape, including popular platforms and apps used by children such as TikTok, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Roblox, Discord, YouTube and online gaming communities.

Topics covered will include:

• Cyberbullying: definitions and key facts

• Supporting your child and key safety messages

• Popular apps and children's online behaviour

• Protecting personal information and privacy

• Recognising and responding to cyberbullying

• Monitoring online activity and using parental controls

• Devices: phones, tablets and game consoles

• Online safety guidelines and the law

Parents and guardians will also have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss issues relevant to their own experiences.
