Digital Safeguarding
What is digital safeguarding?
A good definition of safeguarding is taking proactive steps to prevent harm and abuse from occurring. At the same time, good safeguarding practice means you’ll know what to do if harm or abuse ever takes place: who to contact, what to tell them, and how to help the person who’s experienced abuse.
So what’s digital safeguarding? It’s the same idea but in a digital space. Digital safeguarding simply means taking steps to stay safe online.
