Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Cybersecurity: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Ms Alex Cooney:

To add to that, we are rolling out a behaviour change assessment. We want to measure the extent to which children are understanding and applying what they have learned in the session. We have to understand whether our materials are being effective. We keep our group sizes small in order that the session is engaging and there is a great deal of discussion. It is thematic and tailored towards their needs. However, we must ensure that it is resonating and changing the way they use the Internet. We are rolling that out now.
