Workshop with Sally Evans and Andrew Reeves
This workshop is the first in a series which is focusing on working with Children & Young People online and is a collaboration between ONLINEVENTS and ACTO.
About this event
In this 2 hour workshop, there will be input from Sally and Andrew as they share their learnings and experience of safeguarding while working online.
There will also be time for Q&A to meet the learning needs of the group and small group work so that the wisdom that is accumulating in the community of Children & Young People practitioners can also be shared.
ACTO is building a division focussing on the online work of CYP therapists. This event is part of our commitment to growing a network of CYP online practitioners who work to share experience and develop best practice working with Children and Young People online.
This workshop will be recorded and you can use the ticket function to pre-purchase the recording before the event.
