Learning Together National Network – National Child Online Safety Campaign
National Child Online Safety Campaign
A new National Child Online Safety Campaign launched on 8 February to coincide with Safer Internet Day. The campaign is being led by the Scottish Government with Child Protection Committees Scotland, Police Scotland and other a range of third sector partners.
The campaign aims to increase awareness of the importance of online safety to parents and carers of children aged 8-11 year olds, and reassure and inform them that the skills they apply offline to help keep their children safe can be used tohelp protect them online too.
A supporting Parent Club webpage includes practical ideas and advice for parents and the Parent Club toolkit sets out simple ways in which partner organisations can further support the campaign.

Give Your Views- School Age Childcare
Scottish Government are working with Caerus to understand the supply and demand of school age childcare & out of school clubs in Scotland.
The Caerus team is developing software that families will be able to use to find and book childcare, clubs and activities in your area.
As they prepare to launch the software, Caerus need input from families to ensure the platform meets your needs. They are asking families to pre-register via https://parents.caerus.scot/ and share your views.
Scottish Government will use data taken from this software platform to give us a clear picture of where more school age childcare is needed. We won’t see your individual answers, but we will be able to see, for example, how many people from different groups in different areas answered the questions. You can read more about this in the Caerus privacy policy if you click the link.
Using this data will help us as we develop our plans to build a system of wraparound school age childcare in Scotland. This will be free to families on the lowest incomes, and affordable and accessible to others.
