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.
