Dear parents,

With all the different means of accessing the Internet, we know children and young people may spend more time online.

Lewisham Council has commissioned the Athena Refuge to deliver 2 x free workshops to empower parents to support their children to access technology safely and positively and what to do if you have any concerns.

We know removing technology from our children can seem like a logical solution but sometimes this can in fact increase risks of unsupervised use.

The purpose of this workshop is to increase awareness and provide some useful skills to support parents, by the end of this workshop you should be able to:

Recognise how modern technology can be used to jeopardise young people’s safety 

Distinguish between different types of technological abuse that could affect children and young people

Assess the risk factors involved in cases where technology is being used to abuse children and young people

List different ways in which you can empower your children to use technology safely and positively
