Technology Facilitated Abuse: Safeguarding Through Awareness

Posted on by

While we may be much more connected through the use of social media and other technologies, we may inadvertently leave ourselves vulnerable to abuse. To mark the 16 Days of Action for Domestic Violence, we are delighted to welcome Steve McNeill, Child Safeguarding Lead from the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust. With 24 years experience working with children and families, Steve has a special interest in tech and how is might be used to stalk, threaten and control victims and survivors.

If you work with families in the Community and Voluntary or statutory sectors, this half day training is for you.

When: Friday 28th November 2025 9.30am – 1pm (registration from 9am)
