Keeping Children Safe Online

The internet can be a wonderful place for children and young people, from helping with school research reports, to communicating with teachers and friends, and playing interactive games. But the online world also comes with risks, like inappropriate content, cyberbullying and scams.

Since 2025, Parenting Across Scotland have been in partnership with Police Scotland to deliver webinars to parents and carers to increase awareness around some of the risks associated with the digital world and how to help keep children and young people safe.

We have delivered several sessions to date, to an audience of around 2000 parents and carers across Scotland. You can view a previous session here.

Feedback from previous attendees include:

"Everything explained in language I understood."

"There was lots of helpful information and presenters were very knowledgeable"

Since then, we have also invited Education Scotland along to share information about how technology is used within schools and as part of the curriculum. 

We will continue to deliver these sessions, with the next being delivered in September 2026. You can sign you to our newsletter to be the first to hear when dates are released.
