Get Safe Online's Chief Exec Tony Neate is delighted at the response he received to an online safety chat at Hawthorns High School in Pontypridd earlier today.
Tony addressed 150 year 7 pupils at assembly as part of our 'Cyber Pro-Prefects' challenge, which we've put together in conjunction with Partners SOCA (Serious Organised Crime Agency, SCDEA (Scottish Crime & Drug Enforcement Agency) and Trend Micro. Nominated pupils in a number of schools across the UK are becoming ‘Cyber Pro-Prefects’ and as such will take online safety responsibility for their year group. Their challenge will be to pass on internet safety advice from the assembly to their schoolmates, who will in turn pledge to the guidelines. Those who take the pledge will receive a multi-colour ‘Connect with Respect’ bracelet to demonstrate commitment to online safety.
All the paper bracelets from this morning will be displayed in the school's main foyer..
