"Hi Duncan, For a number of years we used a system called Viewpoint for LAC reviews, but this seemed to gradually decline as the web moved on and it began to feel dated. I think they are still offering a service, try http://www.vptorg.co.uk/.

Duncan Hodgson posted an eventPreston Social - Social Media & Young People at New Continental
September 27, 2011 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm
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…See More
Duncan Hodgson posted an eventSo! VolTech - Social Media & Technology for the Voluntary Sector at Blackpool Central Library
November 19, 2011 from 9:30am to 4pm
So! VolTech is a North West Conference on Social Media & Technology for the Voluntary Sector. With voluntary sector organisations having to move quickly with current social media trends and technology advances it is important to share good practise and get together as a group to discuss the issues and find the solutions.We aim to bring together voluntary sector organisations, web developers, hyperlocal news outlets and social media “surgeons” from across the North West on Saturday 19th…See More
Duncan Hodgson posted a discussionFacebook, under 13s & who is responsible?
Hi EveryoneI'm sure many of you will seen that a father in Northern Ireland is bringing a case against Facebook (and the local care trust) for allowing his 12 year old daughter to post suggestive photos on the site.This is again raising the question of who is responsible (legally or morally) for young people's safety in online spaces - I think the answer is "it's a combination of people & organisations". As well as this I assume that is the care trust (who had parental responsibility for…See More
Duncan Hodgson commented on Steven Flower's blog post CYPNOW survey of youth clubs and deprivation"Hi Steven
Having had some time to digest this since this morning I'm definitely of the opinion that without the data behind this it is pretty meaningless. For a start it is pretty hard to draw a comparison between local authorities…"
Duncan Hodgson commented on Tim Davies's blog post Next steps for Youth Work Online..."I'm definitely up for being involved (provided I don't swan off to Malta!), especially would like to work on getting a Connected Generation North Edition going at some point in the future."
Duncan Hodgson commented on Tim Davies's blog post What do you want to talk about at Connected Generation 2011"Katie - the how to challenge racism & homophobia sounds brilliant! I shall have to prioritise that one!"
Duncan Hodgson commented on Tim Davies's blog post What do you want to talk about at Connected Generation 2011"I'd like to have a crack at the old chestnut - organisational change. How do we get people to see the value? How do we get away from the communications team holding all the cards and get the tools more freely available to practitioners?"
Marion Boyle replied to Duncan Hodgson's discussion Connected Generation - Friday Evening"Hi folks,
I am coming down on the Friday but am staying with friends who have arranged to pick me up and see me okay, i.e. fed and watered, so I won't make the Friday eve thing but sounds great, enjoy :)"
"Great. Will do
Going to send a mail-out tomorrow morning...

Duncan Hodgson replied to Duncan Hodgson's discussion Connected Generation - Friday Evening"I've had a bit of a scout around for a suitable pub and have come up with All Bar One. Not sure but this might be the same chain as the pub we went to last year in Bristol so seemed to be a safe bet.
Details of the pub are at…"
Duncan Hodgson replied to Duncan Hodgson's discussion Connected Generation - Friday Evening"Hi Joel
I've booked into a Travel Lodge near Covent Garden but I'm sure others may have alternative suggestions. I imagine most places should be ok!"
Joël Versin replied to Duncan Hodgson's discussion Connected Generation - Friday Evening"Nice idea, I'll be sleeping on friday in some hotel or hostel, didn't book yet. Are there any suggestions? Or where do other participants sleep?"
"Hey Duncan
Great idea. Will include a note out to registered attendees in a few weeks with a pointer to this thread.
I'll certainly be around and up for meeting up :)

"Hi Tony,
Thanks for that; your youthworktoolbox website looks useful, particularly the podcasts.
We're looking at going with Mailchimp as it's very user-friendly and very much integrated with social media which is a major plus.
I might…"
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
