In-person information session: Keeping children and young people safe

To equip adults with the confidence and tools to guide their children and young people to safe internet use, we have invited Dan Munn from Eyes Open Social Media to come and share their knowledge at two information sessions in April.

These sessions will be beneficial for parents and carers, and to anyone who works with or are in contact with children and young people (for example sports coaches, educators, children’s party entertainers).

The session will cover the following content:

· How to recognise, respond to and manage social media issues

· When and how to report online issues

· How to communicate with children about online issues

· Identity theft; how personal information can be stolen and used against people

· Inappropriate material and the current laws around child exploitation material

· Predators; how they work, what they look for and what makes a user more vulnerable

· Cyber-bullying and the current laws

· Digital footprints and how they can be used to enhance or detract from future opportunities

· Practical take away tips to reduces risks.

Book your free ticket – spots are limited.

Please note that this session is not suitable for children.
