About this listen

 A podcast for anyone who supports young people - Youth worker Louisa Street talks to Professor Andy Phippen about the issues young people face online, from harassment to too much porn, from managing your digital footprint to dealing with trolls. We focus on building resilience in young people, rather than a simple 'online safety' approach. We use the Headstart Digital Resilience tool (and supporting training) to inform our discussions - you can find it at www.headstartkernow.org.uk/digital-resilience.Louisa Street Economics Management Management & Leadership

    The EU Kids Online and Global Kids Online surveys can be found here.
