The Western E-Safety Steering Group invite you to an interactive, discussion based workshop with Professor Andy Phippen from Plymouth University.

Professor Phippen specialises in how children and young people use technology and the workshops aims to address a range of digital behaviours with a focus on the impacts of gaming on children’s emotional health and wellbeing.

The workshop will be hosted in partnership with the Western Health and Social Care Trust, NSPCC and the Public Health Agency.

Date: 9 February 2017

Time: 9.00am – 1.00pm

Venue: Waterfoot Hotel, Derry/Londonderry

The master class will give you the opportunity to discuss:

• Striking the balance between embracing new technology and being emotionally healthy;
