The same technology we teach your children — explained for you, in plain English. So you can support them, keep them safe, and learn something for yourself along the way.
We built BET so our children would understand technology, not just tap and scroll. But children learn best when the grown-ups around them understand it too.
So this course is our gift — free, for every parent and every member of staff. No jargon, no cost, no sign-in. Read it on your phone, one lesson at a time.
📖 During this term, every lesson is open to all. From 1 September 2026, our online-safety essentials stay free for everyone, and the full course moves behind a free Baybos account. Sort out your access now — sign in at baybos.school/family.
A complete course. These thirteen lessons cover what matters most today. We review the whole course before the start of every term to keep it current as technology changes — so it stays useful without ever going out of date. If there is a topic you would like us to add, tell us at the office.
The same care we give your children's learning — now for you.
What is BET? → Back to homeIn one line: a few simple habits, kept every day, protect a child far more than any single app.
The internet is a wonderful place to learn — and, like any busy place, it needs a few sensible rules. You do not need to be technical to keep your child safe. You need a handful of good habits and an open conversation.
Apps and parental controls help, but they are not enough on their own — children are clever and the tools are never perfect. The real protection is that your child feels able to tell you when something online worries or upsets them, without fear of being blamed or losing the device. Keep that door open.
This week, agree one simple family rule together — for example, "no phones at the dinner table" or "devices charge in the sitting room at night." One rule, kept well, is worth more than ten that are forgotten.
In one line: scammers create panic and hurry — so slow down, and never share a code or PIN.
Every day, people receive messages designed to trick them out of money or information — by text, WhatsApp, email and social media. Learning to spot them protects your family and your money, and it is one of the most useful things you can pass on to your children.
The golden rule: never share your OTP or PIN with anyone, for any reason. Not with a caller, not with a "bank official," not with anyone. Pause, and the scam falls apart.
Shocking claims and dramatic forwarded messages spread fastest — and are often false. Before you believe or forward something, ask: where did this come from, and do trusted news sources report the same thing? A moment's pause stops a lot of harm.
Next time a suspicious message arrives, do not tap the link. Show it to your child and spot the warning signs together, then verify through the official app or a known phone number — never the number in the message. Teach them the golden rule: we never share our OTP.
In one line: a few strong, separate passwords and one extra step keep your money, messages and memories safe.
Most accounts are broken into not by clever hacking, but because a password was weak, or the same one was used everywhere. A little care here protects your bank, your email and your WhatsApp.
Most banks and apps offer "two-step verification" (also called 2FA): after your password, they send a code or ask for a second confirmation. It is the single best thing you can switch on. Even if someone learns your password, they still cannot get in.
Protect your WhatsApp today. WhatsApp accounts are often stolen in Nigeria and used to scam family and friends. In WhatsApp, go to Settings → Account → Two-step verification and turn it on with a PIN. It takes one minute and stops your account being hijacked.
Turn on WhatsApp two-step verification right now (Settings → Account → Two-step verification). Then help an older relative do the same — it is one of the kindest, most protective things you can do for them.
