📱 The Price of Likes: When Social Media Exploits Children 😢 Imagine being a child and having your most vulnerable moments turned into entertainment for the world to see. For some parents and carers, chasing likes, shares, and viral fame comes at a cost: their child's dignity and emotional well-being. 🎥 In an era where pranks, public shaming, and staged "cute" moments are shared without consent, it’s time we ask ourselves: ❓Where do we draw the line? ❓Should social media exploitation be recognised as abuse? Children deserve a childhood free from the pressure of being online content or memes. Let’s advocate for their privacy and well-being. 🔗 Read more in our latest blog about the rise of social media exploitation and why it's time to act. 💬 What are your thoughts? Let’s start the conversation. 👇 #ProtectOurKids #SocialMediaExploitation #ParentingInTheDigitalAge #ChildhoodMatters #Safeguarding #ChildProtection

Your Sector - Charities 🌐 Our new “Your Sector” section is now live on the website, we are kicking off with a deep dive into safeguarding in charities, a vital topic for organisations that work with vulnerable individuals. Charities often support children, young people, the elderly, those with disabilities, and individuals facing poverty or displacement. This makes safeguarding critical for ensuring these groups are protected from harm, abuse, exploitation, and neglect. It’s not just a legal obligation; it is about creating trust, delivering ethical services, and operating responsibly. 👉 Whether you're a charity leader, designated safeguarding lead, safeguarding trustee, or simply interested in learning more, contact us! #charities #safeguardingmatters #protectvulnerable #charitycompliance #ethicalpractice #childprotection #workingtogethertosafeguard #safeguarding #children #adults
