Barney and Echo Internet Safety Roadshow

Our school was one of the lucky 30 from across Wigan who took part in the Barney and Echo Internet Safety Roadshow at DW Stadium on Thursday 20th October 2017.

The Children were given the opportunity to take part in structured group activities that encouraged them to discuss issues surrounding e-safety. Presentations from Greater Manchester Police, ChatFOSS, One Day Creative, and Link2ICT with a friendly dancing robot, helped to educate and entertain the children.

The internet safety Roadshow will be at football clubs in towns and cities across the UK in 2016 with the aim of preparing primary school children for keeping safe online.

At the end of the Roadshow each school was presented with Barney and Echo educational resources called ‘Caught in the Web’ to enable us to continue our journey on internet safety and the effects of cyber bullying. Produced by the Police Community Clubs of Great Britain these resources are an invaluable addition to current curriculum activities.
