Online messaging is used by billions of people around the world. It is easy, instant, fun and the most popular platforms support the ability to send pictures and videos with little restrictions. However, messaging is typically used to replace in-person communication and the absence of facial expressions or body language can often leave the door open to interpretation and the potential to cause offence or unintentional harm to the recipient.

In this webinar Phillipa Wraithmell, award-winning global digital transformation specialist who is currently leading digital strategies in schools across the UK and the UAE, and mental health and wellbeing expert Anna Bateman, will explore what is meant by the term ‘netiquette’, the importance of developing positive online behaviour and how to build a culture of positive communication that supports and protects children’s wellbeing online.
