Lucy FaithfulI Foundation - Inform young person - Family support services


What we do

Our Inform Young People Programme is an educational programme for young people in trouble with the police, their school or college for inappropriate use of technology and the internet including behaviour such as:

Sexting
Possession and/or distribution of indecent images of children
Engaging in risk taking behaviours online, such as accessing adult pornography
We also work with their families or their main care giver. Our engagement aims to prevent an escalation or reoccurrence of the behaviour.

Who do we support

The sessions are educative, designed primarily to provide support, advice and information to the young person and their family and each is tailored to their individual needs. However, sessions would typically cover:

Education about internet safety and how to stay safe online and with new technologies
Support, advice and information about the issues facing the young person and their family
Adult pornography, ‘sexting’ and other risky online behaviour
Facts about which behaviours are legal and illegal
Strategies to prevent a recurrence or escalation of problematic behaviour
The sessions help families to communicate about and confront very difficult issues while providing support for the young person. Families have the opportunity to explore issues, discuss behaviours and create individual, personalised, family safety plans to prevent the behaviour reoccurring or escalating.
