Family Course for Life Online
The online safety course you do WITH your kids, not to them.
You know that knot in your stomach when they disappear upstairs with a screen?
We can't make the internet perfect. Nobody can. But we can make sure that when something weird, unkind or confusing happens online (and it will), your child's first thought is “I'll tell Mum” and not “I'll handle this alone.”
Switched On Together is a digital citizenship and internet safety course for children aged 8 to 15, designed to be done as a family, together, on the sofa, in one evening or one ten-minute mission at a time. No logins, no apps, no lectures. Just the conversations every family means to have about life online, with the awkwardness taken out.
Six missions cover everything that matters:
• Posted Is Forever: your child's digital footprint, thinking before posting, and asking before sharing photos of others
• The Pile-On: cyberbullying, group chat drama, and how to be the kid who makes it stop
• Spot the Fake: fake news, online scams and AI fakes, and the checking habit that beats them all
• The 'Friend' You've Never Met: passwords, personal information, privacy settings and online strangers
• Just One More: screen time balance, sleep, and phone rules that apply to parents too
• No Panic, No Blame: exactly what to do when something goes wrong online, and the family promise that makes telling safe
Every mission has a real-life scenario your family debates together, a quick-fire quiz where the kids get to grill the grown-ups, and conversation prompts that get past one-word answers. Yes, mission five is about YOUR scrolling. Brace yourself.
