Digital Safeguarding – Lite Bite 3: Digital Wellbeing and Healthy Engagement

This is part three of a four-part online webinar series designed to equip youth workers with the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to address emerging digital safeguarding challenges.

Funded by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) the series brings together sector experts and youth workers to reflect on the evolving digital landscape impacting young lives and encourage discussion on youth work approaches to addressing digital safeguarding risks in youth work settings.

Co-delivered with sector experts ChildNet this series aims to:

• – Build awareness of key and emerging digital safeguarding risks affecting young people.
• – Increase understanding of how these risks may present in youth work settings.
• – Share insights from sector experts and current practice.
• – Signpost resources and next steps for youth workers.

The session will focus on promoting positive digital habits, managing screen time, and supporting young people’s mental health in digital spaces. It will highlight practical approaches to building resilience and building healthy digital relationships.

This introductory CPD is suitable for youth workers, volunteers and practitioners working with young people. No specialist digital safeguarding knowledge is required, although learners should have a basic understanding of safeguarding responsibilities within their own organisation.

These presentation style sessions are designed as short, introductory webinars that provide awareness and opportunities to ask questions, rather than in-depth specialist training.
