  • Becta's "Next Generation Learning" campaign aims to improve the way schools and colleges use technology for learning, and a key part of this drive is about raising awareness among parents of the benefits of technology and the internet, while encouraging them to stay safe online. There is a huge amount of advice and guidance available for parents to ensure their children are protected in the virtual world. Organisations like the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) and Stay Safe Online, for example, are working hard to help parents understand more about what their children are doing on the web.

    balanced documentary and supportive material. Thanks to Bill Farren comment#218 "One of the biggest surprises in making this film was the discovery that the threat of online predators is misunderstood and overblown. The data shows that giving out personal information over the Internet makes absolutely no difference when it comes to a child's vulnerability to predation. " PBS site 'What We Learned write up'

    All tutors have years of tutoring experience, are experts in the subjects they teach and have passed government background checks. ... I'm interested if tutors/mentors/coaches are SA only ... and will enquire later. Also interested if other similar programs exist. Thanks for the 'heads up'
