This launch of the first Digital Safeguarding SIG focuses primarily on Dr Carlick’s recent research across eight Local Authorities. The research interviews covered areas about digital safeguarding policy development; understanding of safeguarding digital co-design; digital initiatives during and after the covid-19 pandemic within children’s social care settings; embedding digital pathways within safeguarding and impact evaluation; digital self-referrals and implementation of digital safeguarding initiatives.
