Use this to find, compare and record reliable cybersecurity information without copying unsafe technical instructions.
Use this to plan, write notes, draft explanations, record sources and create written portfolio evidence.
Use this to present your findings clearly to a class, family, school group or community audience.
Use this to create posters, infographics, cards, diagrams or campaign visuals.
Use this if you want to record a short explainer, awareness video or narrated briefing.
Use this to create tables, rank risks, compare options or organise evidence.
Help learners choose a realistic audience and keep the focus on recognition, prevention and response. Adults should redirect any unsafe technical detail towards ethical safety advice and encourage learners to use plain language.
Successful work should include six accurate threat cards, one safe fictional attack pathway, a justified top-three risk ranking and a final briefing that a real audience could understand without extra explanation.
To simplify, provide a shortlist of threats and a partly completed risk table. To extend, ask learners to adapt the same briefing for two different audiences or include feedback from a peer before improving the final version.
Cyber threat communication is used by security analysts, digital safety trainers, IT support teams, schools, charities, banks, public services and businesses that need to help non-experts make safer decisions.
