In te rn et safety is a big concern nowadays and to protect yo ur ch ild re n
and teenagers online, it's
a good idea to m o n ito r the sites they visit. D on't be put off from letting your kids use the Internet;
it's essential fo r th e ir education and can help them make frien ds too!
Now, let me te ll you a bit about some sites we've found fo r children. Of course, there's a
lim ite d num be r of sites fo r the very young, but we w ould suggest one called Playtim e Online.
It's designed fo r children from fo u r to six years old. It's really c o lo u rfu l and helps children learn
s k ills fo r games. C hildren love it and it helps them w hen they begin school. Then, fro m say five
u n til about ten
years of age, there's a really useful w ebsite called Moving Up. This takes Playtim e
Online a step fu rth e r and enhances the m aths and language s k ills of the child. Teachers speak
highly of th is site fo r child developm ent.
When children get into th e ir teens, the In te rn et can be a m ore dangerous place. Net Aware, fo r
the tw elve to
sixteen year age group, m akes young people m ore aware of online d an ge rs. It's a
good site fo r yo ur child to look at before they s ta rt su rfin g on th e ir own.
Now, a ll teenagers love chatting, and Chat E lectric is a site designed specifically fo r teens from
th irte e n to sixteen to make frie n d s online w ith people th e ir own age.
The last site is invaluable fo r teens studying fo r exams. Sixteen- to e ig h te e n -ye a r-o ld s love Test
Doctors, w hich is a site designed to help students revise fo r th e ir exams and is fu ll of handy hints
and tip s . The site is run by subject sp ecialists so it's packed fu ll of inform a tion .
The Health and Action S u m m e r Camp in the county of Cork in so uth ern Ireland is ideal fo r young
people who w ould like to learn new sp orts and activities. It has a b e a u tifu l location
near a rive r
and occupies five acres.
The cam p has two types of accom m odation; te n ts and cabins, both of w hich are m odern and
com fortable. The cabins are by the rive r and the te nts are on h ig he r ground,
away fro m the rive r
and next to the wash ro o m s. There are two w ashroom blocks, fu lly equipped w ith show ers as w e ll
as toilets.
We also have fa c ilitie s fo r cooking here. We provide a ll the pots, pans and utensils. A ll cooking
is
done in the cooking area, w hich is situated in the centre of the ca m p . This gives the camp a real
social focal point.
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is a program m e of activities designed to help young people from
a ll backgrounds develop personally. There are three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold, and fo r each
level p articip a n ts have to com plete a series of activities in fo u r categories: vo lu ntee rin g,
physical,
s k ills , and expedition.
This ta lk w ill explain w hat you have to do in order to get a Bronze award. The firs t thing you need
to do is find a Duke of Edinburgh centre near you. This could be your school, college, o r youth clu b .
Then y o u 'll need to pay a sm a ll fee to enrol in the program m e. Once you've enrolled, you’ll get a
w elcom e pack w hich explains the fo ur categories in more detail. Then you can s ta rt planning what
to do. You can do many different types of activity fo r each category, but you
m ust get them approved
by your Duke of Edinburgh Coordinator before you sta rt so you don't waste tim e doing som ething
w hich is not approved. The o the r im p orta nt person is your assessor. This is the person who w ill
ce rtify th a t you've completed each activity by signing your record book. A fte r you've completed a ll
the activities in the tim e given, your assessor w ill send your record book
results to the operating
authority, who w ill check it. If everything is satisfactory, y o u 'll get your certificate and badge to
confirm you've completed the aw ard. And a fte r that, you can sta rt w orking on the Silver award!
