Cyber Resilience For Parents
In January, we invited parents from S1 to S3 along to a Cyber Resilience Parental Engagement session.
Parents discovered the differences between Cyber Security and Cyber Resilience, were informed about where pupils engage with Cyber content in their path through high school and had a hands on experience of using Cyber Security tools!
Advice on how parents can help support pupils with cyber security issues were also shared. Find out more on how to support your child with Cyber Security problems below.
