I can fully understand the reasoning behind all this.
Lets just carry on as we are doing, Our code of conduct covers
everything, helps keep people safe and links to mechanisms to report
inappropriate contact.
I will see at some point if I can help put together some information
for non techy people who work with different age groups (well contribute
to this) due to lack of engagement from the community safety team, it is
less priority now. I will ask at the e-safety seminar in a few weeks.
As to me if practitioners are able to support young people we benefit
from this.
Thank you to everyone for their help on this issue,
Paul
