Are You Ready to Respond When a Child Encounters Online Harm?
The Recognition Readiness Scorecard is a five-minute, no-judgement diagnostic designed for frontline professionals who support children.
When a child shares something shocking or distressing they’ve seen online, you may only have seconds to respond. Yet, almost no qualification, induction, or safeguarding course prepares you for this because until now it hasn't been included as a type of trauma you need to be aware of [backed by the lack of literature in this discipline for over 30 years]
The The Recognition Readiness Scorecard helps you cut through uncertainty and shame by revealing your strengths, gaps, and next steps across five core areas. Instantly learn what to say in the first thirty seconds, what to do next for recording and escalation, and how to look after yourself. Developed by Dr Catherine Knibbs—Consultant Child and Adult Trauma Psychotherapist, Online Harms Consultant, and published researcher on this very topic, this Scorecard is grounded in two decades of clinical practice and doctoral research with children aged 7–10.
