Quickline Communications is helping more than 4,000 primary schoolchildren across North Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire benefit from an internet safety project that aims to keep pupils safe online and make their switch from primary to secondary education less emotionally stressful.
The project has been made possible by funding provided by the altnet provider and will be delivered over several months by volunteer teaching professionals, teaching staff and the support of parents.
Additional activities are incorporated into lesson planning and are supported by drama productions.
A partnership between The Police Community Clubs of Great Britain and Amber Bee CIC, a community interest company will, from this February, begin delivering the Barney and Echo, Caught in the Web Project to up to 72 primary schools.
The Police Community Clubs of Great Britain help parents and teachers prepare youngsters for the personal, social and mental health challenges they may face when stepping up to secondary school, through community supported sports programmes and educational resources.
Ian Jackson, working with the Police Community Clubs explained: “By offering a flexible way to deal with possible emotional changes of going to secondary school, like bullying or grooming, children will be better equipped to make good choices and stay safe online.
“And thanks to the support from Quickline we are able to continue the delivery of this valuable programme to more schools across the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire region,” he concluded.
