Right Click scheme to host 600 school e-safety workshops

Behaviour
A three-year initiative to train and support teachers and parents to help keep children safe online has been unveiled.

The Right Click campaign is being run by UNICEF UK and BT and will involved “train the teacher” sessions as well as workshops for parents and their children.

It will revolve around spreading practical ideas and tools for broaching the topic of internet safety with both primary and secondary aged children.

Research involving parents of 2,000 school children aged four to 16, released to coincide with the launch, found that a fifth said they lacked the confidence to tackle issues of online safety with their children, while three-quarters wanted more support.

The scheme will be rolled out in June and will be delivered via UNICEF’s Rights Respecting Schools programme, which is in 3,200 schools across the UK.
