The emotional wellbeing and good mental health of children and young people is always a top priority for relevant services and organisations. This week is Children’s Mental Health Week and next Tuesday, 11th February, is Safer Internet Day, so we are sharing information relevant to these areas which has been submitted by our contacts. Please share any of this which may be of use.

Thanks to all who provided information on upcoming training opportunities, events, parenting programmes, youth programmes, resources, funding opportunities and surveys for inclusion in this special edition of ‘FYI’.

Please spread the word!

This webinar will examine a range of emerging online trends, themes and patterns of behaviour. It will consider how the context of a young person’s offline life and vulnerabilities can accelerate pathways to real harm in the virtual world. Critically, it will focus on the potential to use technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to educate, empower and protect entire communities. 

The webinar is open to members and non-members with an interest in children and safeguarding services
