Youth Work Online

Exploring youth engagement in a digital age

Jon Jolly

Policies, guidelines and boundaries for interacting online

Does anyone have any written statements about online conduct for youth workers and volunteers? I'm re-writing our volunteer handbook and would love some thoughts from others about what to include. There's the obvious stuff about safeguarding children, but what about personal/professional boundaries, keeping logs of online comments or Personal Messages, and guidance on 'what not to post'?

Hi All

I've just re- read this discussion thread as I prepare to start thinking about typing up my dissertation in which I have been researching in part around this.

Would any one mind, if I quote some of what is said, obviously I would acknowledge the source, unless anyone strongly objects to this.

Regards
Diane

Hi Diane, that's fine by me!

Will you post a summary of your findings for us?

Hey Diane

Also fine with me. And would love to see summary of the dissertation findings also. Are you able to join us for the conference in Wales next week? I'm hoping we can get a discussion together there about what research has already taken place on digital youth work & what else could take place...

Hi Jon and Tim
Thanks for replying and yes I will post what I find, although I feel a bit behind the times at the moment, I had a bit of a lull over the past 6 months with trying to study and work full time, so just trying to pick up the pieces again to try and meet my dissertation submission date.

I've booked on to the conference, so hopefully will get there. I'm hoping it will kick start my motivation to actually put things down on paper.

All the best
