Cyber Safety information sessions

Year 5 and Year 6 listened to a talk from Suffolk Police about Cyber Safety and how to stay safe online.
It was a very informative and interesting presentation - both children and staff learnt a lot!
The children learnt about passwords and what phishing is. They were told how personal data is gathered from the environment around us, even from 'smart' technology at home, and also how some people can benefit from this in a malicious way. The children also found out about digital footprints, social engineering and digital hygiene.
In the evening, Suffolk Police shared a similar message with our parents and also included a lot of other information about cyber security, uses of social media and how information, photos and data can be harvested and used.
Thank you to Chris for such an informative, interesting and eye-opening evening.
