Course Highlights

Full Course Description

Social media plays a significant role in the lives of children and young people, offering opportunities for communication, creativity, and entertainment. Platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube enable young users to connect with friends, explore hobbies, and access information. However, these benefits come alongside challenges, including cyberbullying, privacy issues, online peer pressure, and potential effects on mental health.

This course provides an in-depth look at how children and young people use social media, examining the most popular platforms, why they appeal to younger audiences, and the different ways they are used. It explores both the advantages and drawbacks, covering topics such as identity development, peer influence in the digital space, and online safety risks.

You’ll learn how social media can help maintain relationships, inspire creativity, and provide access to news and information, while also understanding the risks of inappropriate content, excessive screen time, and unsafe online interactions. Practical guidance is provided on managing usage, promoting digital literacy, and creating safer online environments.

By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and strategies to help children and young people use social media in a safe, balanced, and responsible way.
