Jacqui Thompson (PULSE) is a Trainer for the Child Exploitation Online Protection Centre (CEOP) and registered to deliver the ThinkUKnow Programme - this is an OPTIONAL session which can be included in the first session. The 15 minute session focuses on Online Internet Safety, where a short 10 minute film is shown to the students.
Teachers must be aware that this film may cause some pupils to be affected more than others and so it is suggested that a Child Protection Trained Teacher is available. It is also recommended that the CEOP films (age specific) are viewed prior to the workshop.
