Jenny engaged current affairs, safe and secure practices for young people all of them learnt from it and enjoyed the experience. The learners could relate to social domestic issues and supporting children in a positive way was something they wanted to do.

Covering what is illegal for children under 18 years old surprised many of our young people, for example when sharing pictures of a child can have you put on the sex offenders register.
