When assessing the potential risks of online behaviour, it is important to evaluate whether it is internet-dependent or internet-enabled: is the internet required for this risk or behaviour to happen?
This should be the first point of evaluating whether it is in a cyber or internet incident or a societal or safeguarding one and help you find the best support for the issue.

Via Forms and Excel within Microsoft Office.
Do you have access to Microsoft Forms and Excel within your ELC setting but are unsure how they can help you to gather, visualise and analyse data? Please join us in this 60-minute practical demo session, for beginners, where we will focus on how you can use Microsoft Forms and Excel to gather data more easily, better understand what the data you are gathering is telling you and how you can share this visually with children, colleagues and families.
In this session, we will demonstrate how to create a Forms Survey, how to view responses and how to export the results into an Excel file, where you can drill down deeper to interpret and analyse the data you have collected by exploring charts, pivot tables and slicers.
The demo session will be a take place within Glow, however you do not need a Glow log in to join this session.

Do you have access to Microsoft Teams within your ELC setting but are unsure how it can help you? Please join us in the 60-minute practical demo session, for beginners, where we will focus on how you can use Microsoft Teams as your one stop digital shop with your ELC team, for organising, sharing and collaborating on content and for assisting communication. For example, you can all work together, in real time on planning documents, staffing rotas, risk assessments and shared calendars.*
You can communicate via audio calls, video calls, private chat messages and Team posts, and start conversations centred around a particular document.
You can also utilise Teams with practitioners from other settings, to support children’s transitions and to plan and work together on community events.
In this session, we will demonstrate how to create your own Staff Team and how you can use it to connect with your fellow practitioners to distribute information, communicate and work collaboratively on documents.
The demo Team you will see in the session will be a Team within Glow, however you do not need a Glow log in to join this session.

Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace are the two most commonly used platforms across Scotland that allow easier and more effective communication and collaboration between ELC staff teams. These platforms allow you to plan learning, update colleagues and attend events, at cluster, local and national levels. With more ELC practitioners working at different times throughout the day, making the most of these time saving tools can really help to improve workflow and decrease workload.
