Safeguarding Children and Young People Online: Managing Cybertrauma and Online Risks and Abuse
WEDNESDAY 30th APRIL 2025
VIRTUAL, Online
First 10 delegate bookings to receive a free copy of "Safeguarding children and young people online: A Guide for Practitioners" by speaker Claudia Megele.
The online world and digital technologies have become an integral part of children and young people’s everyday lives. However, despite their many opportunities and advantages, digital technologies ranging from social media to artificial intelligence and immersive technologies create new risks and have given rise to new forms of harm and abuse ranging from digital assault to cybertrauma to cyberrape, phantom touch, and digital self-harm. These and other forms of abuse pose significant risks for safeguarding and new challenges for all services and professionals working with children and young people. In fact, NSPCC (2024) indicates that “Almost 87,000 sexual offences against children were recorded by police in the past year.”
Therefore, HCUK and the Centre for Safeguarding and Wellbeing Research and Practice have brought two of the country’s leading experts in cybertrauma, online harm and safeguarding (Dr Peter Buzzi and Claudia Megele) to host this conference, and they’ll be joined by Safeguarding Leaders from Health, Social Care, and Policing to offer you the findings from national research and developments including research on sexual abuse by the Police Foundation and an innovative approach to safeguarding children and young people online.
