Our new Keeping Children Safe Online workshop provides parents and carers with information about how to support their child in their online world. The 40 minute pre-recorded presentation covers topics such as online bullying, mental health, and social media, as well as signposting to resources and organisations for help and support.

The workshop can be shown to groups of parents in school or community settings as well as being helpful for individual parents/carers.

‘This workshop was very helpful and I spoke again to my 14-year-old last night, but this time with more knowledge.’
