As technology advances at an ever increasing rate it can leave many of us adults feeling distinctly unskilled and left behind as even our primary aged children seem to know more about computers,
phones and the like than we do. This seminar organized by the
Board for Social Responsibility in collaboration with the
Police Service of Northern Ireland is hoping to increase our technical knowledge and address many of the issues to do with online safety which we may not even be aware of as we use our computers.
During the evening we will be joined by Sheila Henderson: Mid Ulster Crime Prevention Officer and Constable Peter Hamilton, Community liason Officer, both based in Magherafelt Police Station and Constable Marty Allen the Neighbourhood Officer in Coalisland who will guide us through various issues to do with Online safety including setting up adequate Anti-virus software, controlling our privacy settings so as to prevent unwholesome internet material assaulting us, using passwords appropriately to prevent others accessing our accounts and maybe most important of all: how to ensure that our children stay safe and are protected on line.
The event is free and open to any adults interested in increasing their knowledge and ensuring that they are safe when using computers, tablets, phones and other devises. Please put the date in your diary and come along that evening.
