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.
