In-house online safety training
15 December 2021
The staff team enjoyed this in-house online safety training today led by our colleague Laura. This training is aimed at professionals working with young people & vulnerable adults, & the intention is to provide a clearer understanding of the online risks; how does the online world facilitate sexual abuse & exploitation? and the different forms that this might take. We enjoyed lively discussion, looking at the benefits & risks of popular apps, and the science behind social media. Backed up by alarming statistics, Laura’s presentation was interesting, informative & thoroughly thought-provoking.
