Online Safety (level 1)
The risks associated with an ever expanding online world are significant, but how do we ensure that children and young people can embrace new technology whilst remaining safe? Aimed at anyone working with children and young people in residential settings and wanting to expand their knowledge of current issues in online safety, this course considers where the risks lie and how to work with children and young people to keep safe online.
Social Media Ban Webinar
The Government has announced plans to introduce a ban on social media access for children under 16, alongside a broader package of measures aimed at improving children’s safety and wellbeing online.
Join our free session to explore the impacts and practicalities of the social media ban to support children, young people and the professionals around them, to help ensure implementation is as safe and effective as possible.

The Course
Young people in residential care can face heightened online risks, from grooming and exploitation to harmful content, online relationships, gaming, social media, AI and online misogyny.
This engaging, practical session will help staff understand the online world young people are navigating, why they may take risks, and what adults can do to keep them safer without shutting down communication.
We’ll explore emerging online harms, recognising warning signs, responding to disclosures, managing boundaries and having confident, meaningful conversations about online safety.
This is a half-day practical, scenario-led training session, designed for the realities of residential care .
