Award of Trauma based learning within Cyber Resilience and Internet Security (CRiS) - online res...

Tender description

Education Scotland have identified that the majority of parents and carers resources are just general awareness raising. They encourage parents and carers to talk to the child/young person about issues they may face online, but they do not inform parents and carers on how to support young people recover from a cyber-incident. Stats provided from Internet Watch Foundation indicate that 11 to 13 year olds were the most seen age group engaging in the sending of self-generated images which makes them more likely to be involved in a cyber-incident. That is why it is important to support them in the recovery process which last longer than just changing your password. Through chats with people who have had experienced cyber-incidents they talked about how it still impacts their mental health. This led Education Scotland to investigate the link between Cyber Security and trauma. Education Scotland then identified a gap in current support offered to parents. Education Scotland want to create a cyber-first aid box that give parents strategies to support young people recover form a cyber-incident. This resource should be online to allow parents access to it 24 hours a day
