Johnson, N. F., Sikos, L., Ibrahim, A. & McKee, M. (2024). National cyber security licence consultation report: Stakeholder consultation workshops consolidated feedback held Oct – Nov 2023. Edith Cowan University

Abstract

The consultation workshops invited stakeholders to join a roundtable environment to comment on and discuss the Consultation Paper, shared by Project Lead Associate Professor Nicola Johnson, Edith Cowan University (ECU) in October 2023. The purpose of the Consultation Paper was to identify whether stakeholders agreed that the national cyber security licence the Research Team had developed to date was a best solution towards addressing K-12 students’ cyber security education needs, which was found to not presently be sufficient (see Johnson et al., 2022). Eight workshops were conducted over a month-long period held October to November 2023. 250 invitations were sent out via email for which 120 accepted and were subsequently sent the Consultation Paper in time for reviewing prior to the workshop dates. The final participant attendance number was 80, with the workshop sizes comprising up to 15 attendees. Two workshops were delivered online. Six face-to-face workshops were provided at the City and Joondalup campuses of Edith Cowan University, as well as at Dumas House, hosted by the Office of Digital Government acting out of the Department of Premier and Cabinet. Stakeholders who participated in the workshops came from a wide variety of professions, focused within the educational and cyber security sectors, within which the latter was spread across many industries. Teachers, school administration (principals and deputy principals), representative staff from state educational bodies, university lecturers and HDR candidates across science and education were represented. State government servants, psychologists, technicians, and many cross-sector professionals across education, leadership, management and human resources also attended. These included a handful of attendees also present in the 2023 round of consultation workshops. Most attendees resided in Perth or regional WA at the time, with about 5% based interstate.
