Research

My current research project focuses on the online lives of looked after children, and is the first of its kind in Wales. This mixed-methods research study seeks to understand what the online lives of looked after children are like and whether they experience cyberbullying at a different rate than their peers. In addition, what risk factors they face and what advantages going online has for this population will also be explored.
