The online world and digital technologies have become an integral part of children and young people’s everyday lives. However, despite their many opportunities and advantages, digital technologies ranging from social media to artificial intelligence and immersive technologies create new risks and have given rise to new forms harm and abuse ranging from digital assault to cybertrauma to cyberrape, phantom touch, and digital self-harm.
Therefore, HCUK and the Centre for Safeguarding and Wellbeing Research and Practice have brought two of the country’s leading experts in cybertrauma, online harm and safeguarding (Dr. Peter Buzzi and Claudia Megele) to host this conference, and they’ll be joined by Safeguarding Leaders from Health, Social Care, and Policing to offer you the findings from national research and developments including research on sexual abuse by the Police Foundation and an innovative approach to safeguarding children and young people online.
