We are delighted to announce that recognising our impact, the mayor of London and its Violence Reduction Unit is now supporting our next phase of The Social Switch Project, backing our work to divert at-risk youth towards fulfilling digital careers.

Here, Project Lead for The Social Switch Project’s pilot in Greater Manchester, Henry Stratford shares his reflections on how siblings and peer support can influence online safety.

Reports estimate that internet usage increased by over 50 percent in some parts of the world, while others continue to experience the ‘digital divide’. Catch22 has been a part of highlighting the impact on some of the most marginalised children and young people in the UK, including young care leavers.

Following the ongoing online harms research conducted by Catch22, with Dr Faith Gordon, here we share the initial findings on Children’s and Young People’s Experiences of Online Harm: Perspectives on Policing.
