Did you see this great read along Hanni and the Magic Window which @DigiLearnScot posted on Safer Internet Day this week? Check it out below and maybe you can use this with your learners during Cyber Scotland Week!

With Safer Internet Day on 7 February and Cyber Scotland Week from 27th February – 5th March 2023, I thought it would be helpful to share some resources for parents.

Check out this free online safety guide for parents from National Online Safety.

Our Ambassador training has continued with all of our Primary cohorts successfully gaining their certification 👏 Our Secondary cohort completed their training yesterday.
