'Thinkuknow' is an excellent education programme developed by the CEOP Centre.
It delivers online safety messages to young people, their parents and the public.
The 'Thinkuknow' programme uses innovative materials, aimed at empowering young people and their parents, to make the right choices when using the internet. The materials include films, leaflets, posters and a website, which focus on three key themes: how to have fun online, how to stay in control and how to report.
The FA is proud to have some of 'Thinkuknow' films included in its own safeguarding children education programme and both the Welfare Officers Workshop and Online Safeguarding Children Recertification course highlight the importance of internet safety, making use of CEOPs essential guidance.
The 'Thinkuknow' education programme has an impressive website which gives simple clear messages for children – why not encourage your players/children to have a look for themselves? Simply click on any of the above links to check it out. The messages work because they have been developed with children and the information is aimed specifically for:
- 5-7 years
- 8-10 years
- 11-16 years.
