Check understanding
- Explain what 'ethics' means in their own words and give an example of an ethical dilemma
- Use 'citizen', 'rights', and 'responsibilities' correctly — e.g. 'A citizen has the right to vote and the responsibility to follow laws'
- Define 'consent' and 'integrity' and explain why they matter in relationships and online behaviour
“If your child saw someone being treated unkindly online and you asked them about it, could they explain the difference between being a bystander and an upstander — and what 'digital citizenship' means?”
