Summary


At the beginning of the year, Police Scotland launched their 'Be Smart' programme, a set of free resources designed for students to start the conversation with their peers about staying safe online. The materials were developed by Trend Micro, a global leader in IT security, and incorporate everything needed to deliver an interactive, 80-minute workshop.

Although designed for a school audience, the content suits the college context and offers the opportunity for students to practice a range of practical presentation skills as well as discuss important issues around Internet safety.

This session includes:

•         live run-through of the Be Smart workshop

•         input from Police Scotland on support for running local sessions

•         ideas on how the resources can be used in colleges


Who should attend
