NSPCC

Our Schools Service Brochure outlines everything the NSPCC Schools Service provides:

The NSPCC’s Share Aware campaign can help adults teach KS2 age children how to stay safe online, particularly focusing on the risks of sharing inappropriate messages or images online. More information, resources and videos available at shareaware

PANTS is the NSPCC’s current safety campaign for younger children. It uses a fun and catchy song to introduce children to ‘the underwear rule’ – that the parts of the body covered by underwear are private. Guides to PANTS are available to download for children, parents and foster carers. The parents’ guide is available in several languages and there are also guides for people with autism and learning difficulties. Resources, the video and an online quiz are available at nspcc pants

The NSPCC and O2 are currently in partnership working to help children stay safe online. This is part of O2s corporate responsibility programme.

In-store support from an O2 guru– you don’t have to be an O2 customer to access this technical advice and support.

Together we have set up a dedicated helpline for anyone who wants technical advice on how to keep children safe online (for example, how to set up privacy settings). The number is 0808 800 5002.

The NSPCC is delivering internet safety workshops to parents, carers and family members in primary schools.

More information about the partnership is available at NSPCC O2

Net Aware is a fantastic site which has been developed by the NSPCC and O2. It includes information about all the current popular apps, websites and online games that young people may use. There is a ‘search by icon’ function which allows you to search for an APP by its logo or icon if you don’t know the name of it. The site includes information about the age rating, potential safety risks and how to ensure children set privacy settings correctly when they use these apps and websites. Parents and carers may be particularly interested in using this site if they are curious about what their child is doing online – Net Aware with the NSPCC
