About The Webinar
Defining, Understanding and Protecting against Online Hate | Primary
This webinar will provide senior leaders, designated safeguarding leads and all teaching staff with practical advice and guidance on how to recognise what constitutes online hate, the negative effects it can have on its victims, and how children can learn to protect themselves from it.
The draft Online Safety Bill published on the 12th May 2021 by the UK government was a watershed moment in developing laws to tackle harmful content online. It came amidst a backdrop of continuing abuse and racism aimed at footballers on social media and figures from Ofcom which reveal over 50% of 5-15s now use social media sites or apps, rising to 87% of 12-15s – an indication of just how popular these sites have become and their influence in children’s lives.
In this webinar Dr Bertie Vidgen, Research Fellow in Online Harms at the Alan Turing Institute, explores the form and nature of online hate, outlines why all good digital citizens need to be watchful for it and how children might appropriately be taught about it.
