Online Safety
Healthy relationships and safety are important not only in person, but online too. With the ever-changing landscape of technology and online tools, it is important young people are supported to interact safely online. Our primary prevention programmes support communities to foster responsible digital citizenship for Children, Youth, and people with different abilities including
- Awareness to prevent problems before they start
- Assessment to avoid, de-escalate, or end unsafe situations
- Moving away from trouble emotionally and digitally
- Boundary setting to stop unwanted attention
- Disengaging to leave activities skillfully
- Assertive advocacy to get help with safety problems
