1 in 4 teenagers have tried some form of cybercrime – many without realising their activities are illegal. At SEROCU, we deliver the Cyber Choices programme (signposted in KCSiE) which educates young people about the legal boundaries, so they can make informed decisions about their online activity.
We are a policing unit that seeks to reduce criminal computer use in young people and to avoid criminalising them where possible. This session introduces you to SEROCU and Cyber Choices, including when and how to make a referral to the programme.
Our remit covers those at risk of computer misuse offending and does not extend to cyber bullying.
Learning outcomes:
- Understand what cyber activity falls under the Computer Misuse Act 1990;
- Understand the risk to young people of committing cyber-dependent crimes;
- Knowledge of some risk indicators of involvement in cyber-dependent crime;
- Awareness of the Cyber Choices programme, how SEROCU can support you and young people;
- Understand why, when and how to refer young people to SEROCU Cyber Choices.
