Training

Welcome to CEOP's Thinkuknow training area. The training and conferences are aimed at all professionals who work with young people, from teachers through health and social care to law enforcement.

Half day CEOP Thinkuknow Training Course

All Thinkuknow resources are free to download and use subject to validation, however, to deliver the 11-16 programme you are required to undertake the FREE half day CEOP Thinkuknow Training course. We also recommend that professionals using CEOP resources at any Key Stage attend one of these courses.

The CEOP Thinkuknow Training Course is a free course and course enables professionals who work with young people to directly deliver CEOP's Thinkuknow programme (TUK) to Key Stage 3/4 children (ages 11-16). As well as teaching delegates how to deliver TUK products to young people, the training will also increase their understanding of many of the most popular applications young people are using in the online and mobile environment. The course covers many issues that children and young people face online and signposts to initiatives and organisations for help and support.

CEOP Training Ambassador Course

The Ambassador course is a full day's training aimed at all professionals who work with children and young people. Through the course you will get an in depth look not only at how young people use the internet and mobile technology, but also how offenders use the online environment to groom young people. This training will give both a law enforcement and education perspective broadening your understanding of this emerging area.

Once the training is completed, you will then be able to cascade train your colleagues in how to use the TUK resources for 11-16 year olds, and will receive an official certificate. Please note that you will only be able to sign up to the Ambassador training after completing the free half day Thinkuknow training.
