One of Childnet's most stimulating educational projects is Net-Detectives run by ex Cambridgeshire Police Education Officer David Casey.

Net-Detectives is an exciting online role play programme where school pupils under the supervision of their teachers become 'net detectives' using ICT to link with experts from outside agencies to solve real life scenarios...

This model has proved to be a highly successful means of pupils of all ages learning about citizenship issues, gaining problem solving skills and using ICT in any number of curriculum areas.

Net-Detectives leaflets are available from Childnet, giving you further information about the project. Link to Net Detectives website
