TRAINING PROGRAMMES
TikTok, Snapchat & Trending Social Media Deep Dive
Practical Training for Parents, Schools, Employers & Community Organisations
Your child may be using TikTok, Snapchat or the latest trending social platform, but how much do you actually know about what they see, who can contact them and how these platforms keep them engaged?
This practical session takes parents inside the apps children and teenagers are using.
We look beyond the headlines and show parents what these platforms actually look like, how key features work and which settings and conversations matter most.
By the end of the session parents and carers will understand:
- How TikTok and Snapchat actually work
- How algorithms shape what children see
- AI features and emerging platform trends
- How strangers and online contact can reach young people
- Practical settings and conversations to use at home

What We Cover
TikTok Deep Dive

Snapchat Deep Dive
Explore Snap Map, disappearing messages, streaks, My AI, privacy controls and how children communicate through the platform.
Algorithms & Content
Understand why two children can have completely different experiences on the same app and how algorithms learn what keeps them watching.
Privacy & Online Contact

Trending Platforms
Social media changes quickly. We look at emerging apps, features and online trends parents should have on their radar right now.
More Than Just TikTok & Snapchat
TikTok and Snapchat provide a practical starting point, but the workshop helps parents understand social media more broadly.
Topics include:
- Algorithms and personalised feeds
- Online friendships and strangers
- Private messaging
- Location sharing
- AI chatbots and AI features
- Influencers and online trends
- Harmful or inappropriate content
- Privacy and digital footprints
- Healthy social media boundaries
- What to do when something goes wrong
The aim is not for parents to know every app.
It is to give them the skills to understand any platform their child starts using next.
