As young people spend more time online, both learning and socialising, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, ever increasing threats to their wellbeing and safety have intensified, with rises in both online bullying and grooming reported during the health crisis.

Set against this backdrop, online safety experts and safeguarding professionals will share key insights and best practice to equip those supporting vulnerable children with the understanding, skills and confidence to ensure children and young people stay safe in the digital age. 

CYP Now’s Safeguarding Children in the Digital Age conference will run 10 live digital sessions over four consecutive days from 11 - 13 January.
