In this session, Dr Mark Brown will be discussing "Staying Safe", both online and in person within the modern world.
Many children, young people and adults with additional needs can spend many hours of their day online. Whether this is using chat rooms, online gaming, social media or through sites of interest, the dangers the individual faces can be massive and widespread. However, often the online world can be a person’s only real social outlet. So how can parents, carers and professionals enable the individual to utilise such a useful tool such as the internet whilst keeping safe?
Within this workshop, Mark will explore;
- Potential tips and ideas on what everyone can do to minimise the risk to an individual with additional needs whilst enabling them to stay safe.
- The internet and some of the many hazards
Registration for this session is from 11am, with an 11.15am prompt start.
