More than half of 7-16 year olds own a mobile phone and 98% of children have access to the internet. Digital communication shapes the way that children and young people live their lives and it is here to stay. How do you ensure that they are using these technologies safely and responsibly?

Children & Young People Now present a one-day conference that will allow you to consider in-depth how children and young people communicate online, the media they use, the dangers they face and what can be done to keep them safe in digital environments.
