Safer Internet Day 2019 Prize Draw - Winners announced
This year nearly 400 carers completed Guardian Saints online questionnaire to enter the draw. Foster carers were asked a series of short questions about themselves, how they and the young people they look after use the Internet, what challenges they have had around online safety and what they think are the key dangers the Internet presents to young people in care.
For the first time, questions about data management & security were included. All responses are retained entirely confidentially. The results of the survey will help Guardian Saints to support the Fostering Community & to raise awareness of the challenges they face in keeping this group of young people safe online.
