Cyber Scotland Week 2025: Keeping children safe online webinar

Want to know more about how to keep children and young people safe in an ever-increasing digital world?

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. Police Scotland are keen to increase awareness around some of the risks associated with the digital world in order to keep the public safe online.

We know that ensuring children and young people stay safe online is a concern for every parent and carer. In partnership with Police Scotland’s Cybercrime Harm Prevention Team, Parenting Across Scotland is hosting a virtual event for parents and carers during Cyber Scotland Week 2025. The event will explore how you can help keep yourself and your loved ones safe whilst online - there will be a short presentation by Police Scotland, followed by the opportunity to ask questions.

The presentation will be shared with attendess afterwards. If you have questions for the Cybercrime Harm Prevention Team that you wish to be answered at the event, you can email us in advance at [email protected]
