Content Summary: 

When working with children it is now part of practitioners thinking to include online spaces which include access to “adult” material (pornography). The course enables frank conversations about children’s access to this material, where this occurs, why this gets missed and whether you should ask, or not!

This course will provide attendees with background theory and research on Porn viewing in children and young people, what you need to know about the industry and what children can and do see, where and why.

You will also become equipped to discuss this topic with children as young as 5 or 6 and those children who accidentally happen upon this versus those who actively seek this material.

You will learn about appropriate safeguards and policies, procedures, and resources to help you feel courageous and confident in this space and your role.
