Event Description
With the news that a father in Northern Ireland is suing Facebook over suggestive photos of his 12 year old girl posted on the site, the question of whose responsibility it is to ensure that children and young people are safe online is getting more heated.
Is it the responsibility of the makers of websites, the parents, or the education system? Or should we expect children to be web savvy enough to not put themselves in danger?
Leading the discussion with a talk followed by questions will be Duncan Hodgson, someone who works in the public sector and does work around promoting positive activities for young people.
He's involved in the Plings project and rubothered.co.uk, which he designed, developed and has maintained since its original content. The site was recently shortlisted for Best Website of the Radio Wave Culture & Lifestyle Awards.
You can find Duncan on Twitter at @TawdryMe.
As usual doors open at 6:30, and there'll be an emphasis on discussion and participation.
Want to suggest a topic for a future meetup? Either get in touch with us on Twitter, get involved in our LinkedIn group or our Facebook page.

Thanks for that; your youthworktoolbox website looks useful, particularly the podcasts.

Tony Brown replied to Mildred Talabi's discussion Email marketing - how do you do yours?"Hi Mildred.
I currently use Awebber for my email campaigns.
It's a paid service, but after my research, it seemed to be the best option for me.
I also have a mail chimp account, but I have never used it.
Awebber was not too difficult to set…"

Using Creative Assessment Tools for Practitioners at Attlee Youth & Community Centre, London E1
April 11, 2013 from 9:30am to 4:30pm
BackgroundOne of the challenges of assessment processes with young people is how to secure their involvement and active participation. Only too often assessment can become something that is ‘done’ to young people (or a form that needs to be filled in), rather than a dynamic process that puts them at the centre, something theyare involved with and have some ownership over. The assessment tools called ‘CAF Cards’ and ‘Road Sign Cards’ have been developed with young people to work with the…See More
