Keeping young people with SEN safe online

Buckinghamshire Council joined forces to create an educational game that teaches children and young people with special needs the skills to stay safe online, says Cllr Anita Cranmer.

The internet plays a huge part in all our lives and these days even the youngest of children know how to get online at the touch of a button.

But for all the benefits, there are negatives and for children and young people, particularly those with special educational needs (SEN), the web can sometimes become a dangerous place where they are vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.
