Parent and Carer Workshops
When things go wrong online, children turn to their parents first.
Each session includes access to our Parent Support Hub and Quick Links Fact Sheet for when you need support fast!
Parent and carer workshops can be run face to face or as a live webinar.
Our parent and carer sessions empower families with the strategies to engage with their children’s online world and protect them from its harms.
We equip parents and carers with the skills to:
- model safe internet practices
- participate in their child’s online world
- communicate with their children about their digital lives
- supervise and support by setting limits
