With so much free time there has been a massive boost in interest in live streaming apps such as Tik Tok, and they can be great fun; but, do you know how to judge if a challenge is physically safe to do or whether it might leave you open to exploitation? If something feels wrong or uncomfortable don't do it just because everyone else is. We've all seen video clips online of people getting seriously hurt, abused or embarrassed doing things they probably wouldn't have, if they hadn't been egged into it by others. Real friends won't ask you to do something that is going to harm you in any way.
Here are some activities that might help you think about the risks and ways of protecting yourself or your children.

Sorry if this is one survey too many but many organisations are desperate to find out how people are doing in the current situation and are limited in how they can make contact. Please take a look..... www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/FTZ8Z9P ... See MoreSee Less

It seems very appropriate as we begin Carers Week, which is all about recognising the amazing contribution unpaid carers make to their families and local communities and giving them a voice, that we are able to announce that thanks to the generosity of the Ragdoll Foundation we will be commencing work on a project titled 'In Our Shoes 2' as soon as it is safe enough to resume 'normal' services and restrictions are lifted.
Most of you probably won't remember SCAFT's original 'In My Shoes' project nearly 10 years ago, which gave young carers a voice through the creation of a short film to enable them to explain what being a young carer meant to them, the responsibilities they carried and the frustrations they faced. This timely and welcome funding from Ragdoll Foundation means we are able to revisit the project for a new generation, who face both the same challenges and some unique to the times we now live in.
The project also aims to give our young carers new skills through participating in the creative process, from concept, throughout production and completion; and the aim is also to demonstrate the positive power of the technology in their pockets by using mobile phones, tablets and laptops to film and edit.
