This webinar is for anyone who works or volunteers with young people.
This session will introduce Netsafe’s new free online training (currently in pilot, launching in June) and focus on what to do when a young person shares that something has gone wrong online.
Netsafe will explore how young people might share online harm, including cyberbullying, what to listen for, and practical ways to respond in the moment. Attendees will also be shown key tools, support options, and resources they can use straight away. Designed for schools, community groups, and youth-facing roles, this session will help everyone feel more confident in those first conversations.
For all enquiries, contact the organiser: Outreach@netsafe.org.nz.
