It's crucial that parents and the older generations aren't left behind. You've got to try your best to keep up with the times and workshops like these are a real help. I like to think of myself quite tech-savvy, but I learnt a lot more than I thought I would. I thought it was really beneficial learning about the benefit of parental controls and learning about password protection. It was a really impressive presentation and really easy to listen to and take in all the information.
I think the reality of coming down to basics of generated passwords was really good. I now appreciate how quickly your data could be captured; it was certainty an eye-opener.
It is imperative that our children and parents are aware of cybercrime as they are spending more time on the internet than ever before. Through our curriculum, we teach our children from a very early age to check what they are viewing online is real, to not share their personal information online and to tell a trusted adult if they are unsure about something online…The workshop gave parents meaningful strategies to prevent those becoming victims of online crime and crucially gave them information about how they can protect their children.
