Cyber Safety Basics for Safeguarding Children and Adults at Risk Online
Join us for another Child Exploitation Learning Exchange
Cyber safety is no longer simply an IT issue. It is a core safeguarding responsibility.
This session is designed to equip professionals, carers, and families with the foundational knowledge needed to identify and respond to digital risks early,before they escalate into safeguarding emergencies. 
By recognising the signs of technology-facilitated harm, practitioners can take proactive steps to reduce opportunities for abusers to target children and adults at risk and create safer online environments for those they support.
These Learning Exchanges provide an opportunity to hear directly from specialists working at the forefront of cyber protection and online harm prevention and to consider what this means for safeguarding practice across all sectors.
Audience
The session is designed for practitioners, managers, carers and anyone involved in safeguarding responsibilities.
