#AskTheAwkward aims to help parents and carers have regular conversations with their children about online relationships and more. The resource includes three short films created in a social experiment style, with real parents and their children to capture their reactions to a range of questions. If you work directly with parents and carers, why not also deliver an independent #AskTheAwkward parents and carers workshop using our Facilitators Guide?
