Young People and ‘Sexting’ – Exploration or Exploitation?

Overview
Young people today are more connected than ever, engaging in socialising, research, shopping, and gaming online. Is sending images online the next inevitable step? Young people often see no distinction between their online and offline lives, seamlessly integrating both worlds.

In this session, you will gain insights into navigating and understanding the complex issue of youth produced sexual imagery. We will explore the risks associated with image sharing and its potential impacts on the young people in your care. Additionally, we will cover best practices for responding to incidents as a safeguarding professional or volunteer, ensuring you are equipped to handle these situations effectively.
