“The session has made me more aware of the hidden risks children and young people face online. It’s helped me to better understand the pressures around toxic masculinity, online behaviour and how technology such as AI and deepfakes can be misused. I feel more confident in recognising potential signs and having age appropriate conversations with children about online safety and respectful relationships. It’s also reminded me of the importance of keeping my knowledge of safeguarding laws and digital risks up to date.”
