Course Details

CPD Understanding Social Media for Children and Young People explores the concept of social media and its relevance in modern youth culture. Learners will examine who uses social media, the most popular platforms among children and adolescents, and the ways in which young people interact online, including content creation, communication, and entertainment. The course equips participants with knowledge to understand trends, monitor usage safely, and engage with young people effectively in digital contexts.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to identify social media usage patterns among children and young people, understand platform-specific behaviours, and apply this knowledge to promote safe and positive online experiences.
