Presenters: Ms. Alice Kubo, Thomas Müller and Ms. Rosie Slater

In this workshop Child Helpline International and Childline UK will show the latest developments in information and mobile technologies for children, future developments that will take place and what their impact on our lives and children’s lives will be. With examples from the field Childline UK will show how mobile and information technologies are used in their daily work to provide assistance to children who are in need.

Developments in new information and mobile internet technologies are moving very fast. Children are always amongst the first adaptors of new kinds of technologies. They provide great opportunities but also pose some risks to children.

Child helplines are active all around the world in a spectrum of circumstances with various levels of technological infrastructure and economic development. In all these countries child helplines use an array of methods to reach children that are in need of assistance. Child helplines are always using innovative ways to do this.
