Overview
In the modern world students are required to have access to devices to enhance their education. Yet in doing so, we are inadvertently arming them with a potentially lethal weapon. Unlike previous generations, today’s children are regularly exposed to cyber bullying, sexting, doxing, identity theft, deep fakes, radicalisation and sextortion, without the knowledge and support to deal with them. Jean Yates, Director of Education Cybernetic Shield, will provide an insight into some of the key issues experienced by young people online, and the impact these are having on their mental health. The session will outline what you need to know, how to deal with traumatic situations and how to access the support needed to arrest the devastating harm to our children and its tragic consequences.
