Cyber Hero—
Keeping Young People Safer Online!
We would like to teach children how to spend more quality time online and how to improve their physical and mental digital well-being at home and in school. Our free parental resources have been developed around the ‘Education for a Connected World’ framework set by the UK Council for Internet Safety, The UK Governemnts stautory ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education Framework’ and from extensive research.
Why Cyber Hero?…
Due to advancements in technology together with the ease of accessibility of digital devices along with cheaper, quicker WiFi children and young people now have the opportunity to spend more time online and from a younger age. Although the internet can be a place of learning and development it can also be a place where children can be vulnerable and have the opportunity to access information that we could usually protect them from offline.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to help protect children online and to assist schools, parents and guardians to keep children e-safe whilst widening their own e-safety knowledge.
Our Vision
We want to safeguard children online and make them aware of the potential online risks they can face. We want to help children understand that it can be difficult to distinguish who they are interacting with online and enable them to comprehend that they can say ‘no’ and not feel coerced into doing something they do not want to do.
