Thinkuknow - home

The CEOP Command’s Thinkuknow programme provides resources, training and support for professionals who work directly with children and young people. Our films, learning activities and other resources are developed in response to intelligence from child protection experts within the CEOP Command. They are designed to help children and young people keep themselves safe from sexual abuse and exploitation by developing skills in identifying and avoiding risk, learning how best to protect themselves and their friends, and knowing how to get support and report abuse if they do encounter difficulties. A wide range of resources for use with parents and carers are also available. All resources are downloadable for FREE once users have registered to the site. You can also download our new report on effective practice in prevention education, produced in partnership with the PSHE Association.

Don't let e-safety worries be a barrier to using social media in school | Teacher Network Blog | Guardian Professional Using social media in school doesn't have to cause e-safety panics. This practical guide offers great advice for those yet to embrace social networking. Photograph: www.alamy.com • Read more on using social media in schools here It is clear that one of the major obstacles to adopting social networking is that of e-safety. However, there is very little technical knowledge required, if any at all. Social networking raises many obvious (and some not so obvious) e-safety concerns in schools. Regardless of what we do there is a risk involved; driving to and from work, lifting something off the floor and, as I found out recently to the detriment of my back, keeping fit! In all of the above examples we are taught to be safe by doing, not by sitting in front of a Powerpoint. Again going back to the driving analogy, practicing your driving skills and risk assessing hazards becomes second nature; this is a life skill, not a lesson.
