Support people with learning disabilities to stay safe online

This training is for anyone supporting people with learning disabilities who are online, using social media, communicating with friends and family, dating, or consuming media.

We’ll look at how to support people safely, and how to talk about things like sexting, catfishing, porn, and online relationships in a way that’s honest and supportive.

We’ll cover:

• Social media and how to talk about privacy, fake profiles, and safety
• Sexting and sharing images – what’s legal, what’s risky, and how to support choice
• Catfishing, scams, and online pressure
• Pornography – what’s OK and what’s not
• Paedophile hunters
• What to do if you’re worried – safeguarding, mental capacity and everyday conversations
• Real case studies and a quiz to help you feel confident in your role
