We're trying to get as many young people, parents and youth workers as possible to sign our online pledge.
It would be great to get the Youth Work Online community behind the For Youth Sake's campaign as it will give us more influence when lobbying decision makers.
The campaign pledge can be signed here:

It appears alas that we have already hit a stumbling block on the road to safe and effective use of social media within our services. Not surprisingly this stumbling block could be seen as falling into one or both of two common categories, child protection/safeguarding or money. Having discussed some of the documents I recently uploaded at the bimonthly safeguarding panel it appears th
