Internet Safety for Kids

A Standalone Module

We all use the internet daily for work and leisure. Many devices are ‘internet ready’, allowing access from anywhere in the world via computers, tablets, or phones. But how do we ensure internet safety for young people? While internet access offers enormous benefits, it can also spread harm and negative behavior quickly. Many online activities can be illegal.

Internet Safety and Young People

The internet allows young people to explore the world, make friends, and develop their potential. They have grown up not knowing life before the internet. Young people live two lives—‘online’ and ‘real world’—with much overlap. Unfortunately, the internet also poses high risks, especially for young people with limited awareness of online safety. This makes them extremely vulnerable. They can be online 24 hours a day, exposed to harmful people and circumstances, which can negatively impact their lives.

Our unique SKILL DECISION MAKING MODEL is explained and utilised to enable young people to make step by step decisions

How can Life Skills courses help?

At Life Skills Education, we address internet safety for kids primarily in our 2-lesson module, Web Warriors, designed for Key Stage 2 students. We provide young people with facts and information to raise their awareness about online safety and ensure their behavior is appropriate and legal. They learn to make positive choices regarding their online behavior.

Additionally, our Life Skills Primary programme includes online safety in classroom discussions, especially when considering other issues like hate crime and bullying.
