Course Highlights

Full Course Description

Social media plays a major role in modern life, giving young people opportunities to connect, learn, and share. Yet it also brings risks such as cyberbullying, online predators, harmful content, privacy breaches, and overuse. Without proper awareness and safeguards, these threats can negatively affect mental health, self-esteem, and overall wellbeing.

This course examines the dangers of social media for children and young people, highlighting who is most at risk and why. It covers issues such as grooming, data privacy concerns, and exposure to inappropriate content. You’ll also explore how platforms address these risks through tools like content moderation, parental controls, and age verification.

Practical strategies are provided to help you enhance online safety, set privacy settings, and promote responsible social media use. Real-world case studies, personal accounts from young people, and expert insights illustrate the impact of these risks and how to mitigate them. By the end, you’ll be able to recognise online threats, apply effective safety measures, and encourage healthy digital habits.
