The Dangers of Strangers Online
If you think you know the full extent of online harm to children and young people, think again. Increasingly young people are being contacted in their own homes by online platforms and apps and asked for sexual pictures and videos, while their parents and carers are totally unaware. We are joined by two ex policemen who explain the extent of this online abuse, how it happens, why it is so hidden and what, as individuals, we can do about it. They will also discuss the shortcomings of the Online Safety Bill.
