Education Scotland have identified that the majority of parents and carers resources are just general awareness raising. They encourage parents and carers to talk to the child/young person about issues they may face online, but they do not inform parents and carers on how to support young people recover from a cyber-incident. Stats provided from Internet Watch Foundation indicate that 11 to 13 year olds were the most seen age group engaging in the sending of self-generated images which makes them more likely to be involved in a cyber-incident. That is why it is important to support them in the recovery process which last longer than just changing your password.Through chats with people who have had experienced cyber-incidents they talked about how it still impacts their mental health. This led Education Scotland to investigate the link between Cyber Security and trauma. Education Scotland then identified a gap in current support offered to parents.Education Scotland want to create a cyber-first aid box that give parents strategies to support young people recover form a cyber-incident. This resource should be online to allow parents access to it 24 hours a day
