CKConnect

CKUK's Big Lottery funded project aims to improve both the social networks and internet safety of young people with learning difficulties (16 to 30 years) through peer education.

CKConnect will train 30 young people with learning difficulties over the next 5 years to become peer educators using information technology and multimedia.

CKConnect Peer Educators will develop learning materials, workshops on safe social networking and staying safe online. CKUK will work in partnership with schools and colleges to offer digital projects with peer educators who will work with other young people with learning difficulties in transition to adulthood.
