Risks children face online: Grooming [CEOP Education Video] #SID13

Safer Internet Day is organised by Insafe each year in February to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially amongst children and young people across the world. This year’s Safer Internet Day is 5^th February 2013.

As part of this year’s Safer Internet Campaign The Child Exploitation Online Protection Agency (CEOP) have released some short little videos on their YouTube Channel that have been designed to help teachers talk about some of the issues surrounding Internet Safety and Responsible Use. What is quite nice about the resource is that there is a Primary and Secondary Version for some of the topics.

Here is the primary version:
