Description
This one day course suitable for professionals/practitioners working across all adult social care services including the registered provider sector. It would also be suitable for informal carers.Â
The course will support participants working with adults that may be vulnerable online to understand the benefits and risks of the internet, and the action they can take to uphold human rights and facilitate safe online activity.Â
