New Internet Safety Resources to support young people with a range of cognitive or communication difficulties, special educational needs or learning disabilities.


CEOP have created an animation and lesson plan/activity sheet for young people with a range of cognitive or communication difficulties, special educational needs or learning disabilities.  Three versions of the animation ‘Josh and Sue’ are available; ranging from mild to severe needs and an audio only version.

You can download the videos from the CEOP Resource area along with accompanying materials such as lesson plans and worksheets.

We have embedded the ‘moderate’ version of the Josh and Sue video below:

As always resources have been developed through working closely with an extensive range of disability groups and professionals working in the area.  At different stages in their development, the resources have been evaluated through a range of focus groups with young people.

Google Safety Tools – Google Safe Search

Leave a comment

Google builds tools and controls into our products that help you manage your online experience. One of these tools is Google Safe Search.

Google SafeSearch

SafeSearch is designed to filter sites that contain sexually explicit content and remove them from your search results. While no filter is 100% accurate, Google SafeSearch helps you avoid content you may prefer not to see or would rather your children did not stumble across.

By default, Moderate SafeSearch is turned on, which helps keep explicit images out of your search results. If you prefer you can change your setting to Strict filtering to help filter out explicit text as well as images. You can modify your computer’s SafeSearch settings by clicking on Search settings at the top right of the Google homepage.

SafeSearch Lock

If you’re worried about others changing the Strict SafeSearch setting without your knowledge, you can protect it with a password using SafeSearch Lock.

To use SafeSearch lock, click on Search settings in the upper right corner of the Google homepage. Choose “Strict Filtering” and then click “Lock SafeSearch.”

Once locked, the Google search results page will be visibly different to indicate that SafeSearch is locked:

Even from across the room, the colored balls give parents and teachers a clear visual cue that SafeSearch is still locked. And if you don’t see them, it’s quick and easy to verify and re-lock SafeSearch.

Lee and Kim’s Adventure – Animal Magic

1 Comment

Lee and Kim’s Adventure – Animal Magic is an 8-minute animation providing a fantastic resource to introduce some of the concepts of Internet Safety and Responsible Use to younger children at CfE Level One.

Lee and Kim are a brother and sister navigating the online world with the help of their trusted superhero friend SID!

With his super powers, SID shows them how to keep themselves safe while having fun online. Based around 4 simple tips for children to remember and a song, the cartoon aims to teach children how to protect themselves and others around them.

As well as addressing grooming, the animation also focuses on digital citizenship highlighting the importance of treating each other well and behaving responsibly not only in the playground, but also online.

A YouTube Trailer of the resource is embedded below:

The 8 minute Lee and Kim animation is available inside the CEOP Think U Know Teacher / Trainer area. There are also lots of other supporting resources.
