The National Children’s Bureau, commissioned by the SBNI, has today launched a training needs analysis survey for the children’s workforce as part of the NI Executive’s Online Safety Strategy Action Plan. Your input will help to understand the current experience of learning and development in online safety and identify future training and development needs.

 Access the survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OnlineSafetyTrainingNA

We welcome responses from anyone in your organisation who works with and for children, young people and those who care for them. That could include frontline practitioners, managers, and senior leaders. There is no limit to responses from individual organisations and we are keen to hear from people in a variety of roles.

The survey closes on 11 March 2025.
