Thinkuknow. An Introduction to Parents and CarersNCA-CEOP EducationPlay from here Loop
What do these internet safety videos cover?
Keeping personal information private, thinking before you post, being kind and standing up for others online, noticing when something feels wrong, and always telling a trusted adult. Childnet's SMART rules give children five easy steps to remember.
How can teachers and parents use them?
Watch one short video, then talk. Set an A–B loop on a key scene, such as a character deciding whether to share personal details, and slow it to 0.75× so younger readers can follow on-screen text. Saved sections on keys 1–9 mark discussion points.
Frequently asked questions
What age are these videos for?

Which videos are for parents?
The last three videos, from the NSPCC and CEOP's Thinkuknow programme, are for parents and carers. They cover online gaming, social media and how to start conversations about staying safe online.
