Working with practitioners, I’ve
consistently found the ‘remove risk
first’ approach leads to ineffective
digital engagement and ineffective
strategies to properly address
potential harms to young people, and
young peoples’s digital literacies.
The www.youthworkonline.org.uk network brings together 100s of
practitioners to discuss working with young people in a digital world.

Editor's Notes
Policy and practice responses have to engage not only with ‘measuring’ the balance, but striking it. And in a risk-averse public policy environment that becomes a big issue.
