Due to the success of Plugged In Switched Off in 2021, the conference returned this May. This year’s theme was cyberbullying.
Supported by Google.org, the webinar is aimed at principals, parents and professionals working with children. This aims to be a practical, solution focused webinar about what cyberbullying looks like nowadays and what can be done to prevent it.
Since September 2019, with support from Google.org, we are rolling out a 5 year online safety programme across the country, with the aim of reaching 1,000 schools and 82,000 students overall with our workshops in schools. Our Plugged in Switched off webinar series, aimed at parents and professionals, is also due to their support. As part of this Barnardos/Google partnership, we signpost to Be Internet Legends, a free multifaceted programme designed to teach younger children (age 7-11 year olds) about online safety. There are family guides for parents and lesson plans for teachers and can be used as a ‘before’ or ‘after’ teaching resources to our workshops.
