E-safety workshops

The Local Authority is providing 16 e-safety workshops for mothers, fathers and carers of children who attend Kingston schools. The workshops are sponsored by Contact Point. These workshops are provided through 4 local cluster areas:

Kingston Town (Tudor, Canbury, Grove and Norbiton)
Malden and Coombe (Coombe Hill, Coombe Vale, Beverley, St James and Old Malden)
Surbiton (St Mark's, Berrylands, Surbiton Hill and Alexandra)
South of the Borough (Tolworth, Hook and Chessington)

Content of workshops

The workshops last about two hours and are suitable for the parents of children aged between 7 and 16. They are provided by a charity, Lucy Faithfull Foundation.

These free workshops aims to explore safer internet use for you and your children. It will help you to:-

Know the potential pitfalls of the internet
Think about what action you need to take
Understand cyberbullying and how to combat it

The workshop will include a presentation, some group discussion and 2 short DVDs about cyber-bullying and the dangers of chatting to strangers online.

Past workshops presented by Lucy Faithfull Foundation have been well-received by parents:-

“This has really opened my eyes”

“The cyberbullying DVD was extremely powerful and useful”

“ A brilliant evening, very well organised with a lot of thought and effort put into it”

“I have become more knowledgeable about chat-rooms and will educate my children before they start accessing these sites.”
