Resources
The following resources have been created to support you in your efforts to strengthen the home-school relationship with the families in your school community and to support your community’s digital inclusion.
Our eBooks, webinars and workshops address concerns and challenges that families typically face around digital wellbeing, such as online safety, balancing screen time, engaging children and young people offline and more.
You can promote these resources in your newsletter, at Parents’ Evenings, on your social media and on any family-facing platforms to engage your families and demonstrate your commitment to wellbeing. If engaging your families has been a challenge so far, promoting these resources (some free) could be the step you need.
There is a follow-on webinar and workshop where your parents and guardians can access in-person support to implement digital safety measures, ask questions and interact with other adults with similar concerns.
