Launching today: Empowering Young Minds Against Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying has been shown to cause as much harm as conventional bullying, and in some cases, can be much worse.
In response to conversations with youth workers, the National Youth Health Programme team developed Stay Safe Online: Empowering Young Minds Against Cyberbullying ([link removed]) . The resource is designed to empower youth workers, parents, guardians, and caregivers with the knowledge to support our young people.

Supporting Digital Literacy in Young People
How can we, as youth workers, mitigate the impacts of algorithms and influencers on young people's lives?
Here's one way: through the Connected ([link removed]) resource, a collaboration between NYCI's Child Protection Programme and Webwise.
The resource includes four workshops to support young people with information and practical activities:
* My Online Wellbeing
* News, Media, and the Problems of False Information
* Big Data and the Data Economy
* Young People's Rights Online

Free Online Safety & Awareness Training
Our free e-learning course, Online Safety and Awareness in Youth Work ([link removed]) , was created for youth workers and volunteers. As well as introducing key topics in online safety, it addresses the challenges young people may face online. It also explores the importance of digital awareness in your role and ways you can support youth online safety.
