To support stakeholders willing to reach out to parents and raise awareness among this audience on e-safety issues children may face online, Child Focus and partners of the ESOI project have developed the ESOI prototype: a step-by-step guide to design a SafeOnline initiative in different national contexts. With a set of free-to-use videos and documents showcasing the experience of partners that have implemented the SafeOnline model, this toolkit provides all the practical information and tips essential to develop training for parents on the media usage of their children, addressing five different topics: social media, online privacy, cyberbullying, gaming, online relations and sexuality.
The SafeOnline initiative aims to inform parents about the media use of their children within a context of positive parenting. The content and training sessions of the project are based on the range of possibilities that online technologies have to offer. They are designed to stimulate the interest parents show towards the Internet and the digital world, support them in understanding the social media usage of their children and give them useful and practical tips to identify the risks and opportunities of the digital space.
This toolkit has been designed for Safer Internet Centers, families' organisations, lifelong learning institutes, and any stakeholders interested in improving media literacy levels within families by reaching out to caregivers and parents.
