Course Description

As charities transitioned their services to provide support online in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, safeguarding has emerged as a key concern. To help you navigate the complex safeguarding landscape and confidently embed key principles within your digital solutions, we are running a Digital Safeguarding training  which is accompanied by a comprehensive resource pack.

This session will cover

  • High level principles of digital safeguarding
  • The differences between working online vs face to face – challenges and opportunities
  • Embedding digital safeguarding and risk assessment – things to think about
  • How technology can be used as a tool of abuse/coercive control
  • Supporting vulnerable people online
  • Staff wellbeing and managing secondary trauma when working remotely
