You do not need to be a tech expert to keep children safe online; you need the right awareness, practical tools, and the confidence to hold open conversations. Tailored specifically for parents, foster carers, and residential care workers, this practical course equips you to understand the modern digital landscape, protect vulnerable young people from online harms, and build their long-term digital resilience.
Covering everything from everyday social media risks to emerging technologies like AI and the Dark Web, this course bridges the gap between digital anxiety and calm, effective engagement.
Digital safety is no longer just about setting restrictions; it is about keeping communication open so young people feel safe coming to you when things go wrong. This course provides actionable toolkits, non-judgmental conversation starters, and simple protective steps to ensure you can support the young people in your care with confidence.
This course is for Foster Carers and Adopters as well as their Supervising Social Workers. It is also suitable for Residential Child Care Workers (RCCW) and residential team managers from mainstream, short-breaks and outreach services.
Format: This is a live training session through Zoom. It includes taught sections, small group work, work in pairs, and whole group discussions.
Hand-outs & Certificates: Downloadable course notes and certificates of attendance are provided.

Generic training can leave staff feeling unprepared for the real-life scenarios they face. Our tailored approach ensures the content, delivery method, and case studies are directly relevant to your sector (e.g., education, healthcare, sport, charity, corporate), your local policies, and the specific vulnerabilities and risks present in your community.
We design engaging, practical, and compliant training across three core areas:
Invest in training that transforms knowledge into action. Equip your team with the confidence and competence to protect those in your care proactively.
We recognise that sometimes groups need more time for discussions and group work. This can mean that a two-hour session is just not long enough to explore the curriculum and engage in question and answer sessions. So we are you offering the opportunity to extend the session by an hour to allow your trainees the chance to explore the curriculum fully!
