Social networking sites are developing rapidly. Our children are the first generation to have grown up taking the internet and mobile technologies for granted. They are the first to exploit the many positive opportunities, but also the first who have to negotiate appropriate behaviour as well as manage and identify the risks.

This is the session for those who would like to know more about the pros, cons, pitfalls and opportunities.
Children grow up, children rebel and the danger they are exposed to is more often because they were inadequately prepared for real life than the extreme risks that parents worry about.

A realistic and useful look at the risks associated with child exploitation and how they can manage those risks.
