Course description

Charlotte Aynsley the author of Sexting in schools and colleges: Responding to incidents and safeguarding young people will be delivering training to school DSL’s, pastoral teams, police and children’s services professionals.  

With latest statistics from the NCA CEOP revealing that over 60% of schools have dealt with incidents schools need to ensure that they have the right responses and it is in accordance with national guidance.

The focus of the training is to embed safer practices in schools and to ensure that staff are able to respond appropriately and work with partner agencies effectively. Purpose of the training The purpose of the training is to support schools in managing incidents of sexting. Schools will review the national advice against their own practice and develop their own approach to managing incidents. The revised advice, UKCCIS is sexting in schools and colleges was published in August 2016, will form the basis of the training.  The training will convert the national advice into localised best practice and enable schools to feel more confident in dealing with incidents.
