Technology and risk: Whilst we encourage the
use of technology with young people, we also recognise that the
evidence supporting its use is still emerging. Like when
implementing any new strategies, using technology has its risks,
particularly when understanding and literacy is low. However,
preparing yourself with knowledge and experience can help mitigate
these. Pay particular note to the tips in the Ethics and
Boundaries module.
