Hosted by the Child Protection Hub, an interactive platform for professionals, this webinar will provide insight into the research and resources provided by the International Centre for Child Protection at the University of Kent.
The Centre’s award-winning simulations on complex child protection issues will be demonstrated and discussed. These interactive learning tools allow professionals to encounter a variety of situations faced in practice, in a safe environment and are used internationally. The simulations all provide a safe medium to explore and reflect upon child protection assessment and methods to deal with complex and difficult aspects of child protection practice. Topics covered by the simulations include:
Looking out for Lottie: Developed with NHS Kent, Surrey and Sussex, and updated in collaboration with the NSPCC, Lottie is designed to raise awareness of, and to prevent child sexual exploitation and grooming. It is styled to incorporate aspects of the latest social media apps to appeal to young people. Winner of The Guardian University Award for Digital Innovation 2016.
Zak at University and Young Zak the gamer: Developed with Kent Police (Special Branch) and Kent County Council, Zak is an engaging learning tool, based on a social-media-style interface that increases staff confidence and raises awareness of radicalisation and online grooming. Due to demand, an additional option ‘Young Zak the Gamer’ has been included to look at over-sharing information through gaming.
Maryam and Joe: Behind closed doors: The Centre’s latest online interactive simulation, funded by the Home Office, to address routes to radicalisation and extremism on right-wing and religious extremism.
