Online safeguarding

The use of technology, the internet and social media has now become a common feature in everyday life. The use of the internet can provide fantastic opportunities to the future development of children and young people, but it can also present risks to their well-being and safety. 

We recognise these risks and have produced an online safeguarding strategy and a summary of guidance to support multiagency work in this area, which can be accessed as follows:
