I would like to request details on what cybersecurity education is available to primary school teachers in your local authority as part of their CPD and whether this is compulsory or optional.

We offer at least one dedicated cyber resilience and internet safety (CRIS) CLPL session each year as well as promoting any CRIS sessions run by Education Scotland, both of which are voluntary.  We also include elements of Cyber security in a number of other CLPL session we have running across the year, but are not 100% focused on that topic. We also cover elements of cyber security in sessions we do with NQTs.  ICT also have a Cyber Security - Stay Safe Online module on CLIVE which is provided by the National Security Centre that is available to all staff.
