Most professional development on online harms is a one-off. A 60-minute slot in an INSET day. A lunchtime webinar. A box ticked in a compliance log. And then nothing — until the next moral panic, the next viral story, the next safeguarding incident that exposes how thin the original training was.

At Social Media Resilience®, we don’t do one-offs. We deliver specialist live workshops and CPD-eligible events for the people who need ongoing fluency in online harms — teachers, parents, employers, sport organisations — and back them up with deeper self-paced content inside SMR Steady™.

The result is a different kind of professional development: live, current, specialist-led, and structured around the harms your audience is actually navigating right now.

What we deliver

Two formats, working together.

Specialist live workshops and events

Live sessions delivered to your team, your school, your workforce, or your parent community — in person or virtual, depending on what fits. Every session is built around a specific topic (online misogyny, AI-generated abuse, sextortion, group chat dynamics, parasocial relationships, algorithmic radicalisation, the Online Safety Act in practice) and led by a Social Media Resilience® specialist with current expertise in that area.

These are designed as CPD events. Attendees receive certificates of attendance with documented CPD hours, ready to log against their professional development requirements. Sessions are pedagogically structured — clear learning outcomes, evidence-informed framing, time for questions and case discussion — not lecture-format briefings that leave no space for the actual classroom or workplace realities.

We run sessions for:

  • Teachers and PSHE leads — sessions on classroom delivery of digital wellbeing, the topics other CPD providers won’t touch, and how to handle the moments that don’t fit a lesson plan.
  • Parents and parent communities — evening sessions and workshops for parent associations, school parent groups, and corporate-funded parent programmes covering what their children are actually encountering online and how to have useful conversations about it.
  • Employers and HR teams — workforce sessions on digital wellbeing, online safety for working parents, and the EDI dimensions of online misogyny and harassment that shape team culture.
  • Sport organisations — athlete welfare, club safeguarding officer development, and coach training on the online harms specific to sport.

The Teaching Room™ — inside SMR Steady™

Live workshops give you the moment. The Teaching Room™ gives you the depth.

The Teaching Room™ is the specialist video library inside SMR Steady™, our forthcoming digital wellbeing platform launching August 2026. It holds longer specialist deep-dives from educational psychologists, former DSLs, VAWG-sector practitioners and digital safety researchers — covering the classroom and family situations that don’t fit a single workshop.

Where workshops cover “what to teach,” The Teaching Room™ covers “what to do when the conversation gets harder than you expected.” Handling disclosures mid-lesson. Teaching about misogyny when it’s in your classroom every week. Talking to a child who’s seen something they can’t unsee. Running a productive discussion when opinions are sharply divided.

It’s designed for teachers and parents who want ongoing specialist support — not a one-off training event, but a library of expertise on tap, updated as the landscape changes.

The Teaching Room™ is included with the Steady Pro tier of SMR Steady™. Early Access opens before launch with 30% off for life on any tier.

Why this matters

Online harms move fast. Andrew Tate was not on most CPD agendas in 2022. Deepfakes were a niche concern in 2023. The Online Safety Act, the rise of AI companions, the new dynamics of group chats — these are all developments that have outpaced traditional CPD cycles.

The teachers, parents, HR leads and athlete welfare officers we work with don’t need annual training that covers the same ground every year. They need ongoing access to current specialist thinking on what’s actually happening — and the chance to ask their specific questions, in their specific context, to people who genuinely know.

That’s what live workshops give you. That’s what The Teaching Room™ extends.

How CPD hours work with us

Every live workshop is structured as a CPD event. Attendees receive a certificate of attendance documenting the duration, content covered, and learning outcomes — ready to log against your professional development requirements.

For teachers, this counts toward the annual CPD hours expected in most schools and academies. For HR and EDI professionals, sessions can be logged against CIPD continuing professional development. For coaches and athlete welfare staff, certificates can be submitted to the relevant national governing body. For DSLs, our safeguarding-aligned workshops document hours toward KCSiE-recognised ongoing training.

If your organisation has a specific accreditation framework you need our sessions to align with, talk to us — we’ve worked with most of the relevant bodies and can advise on the right format.

Where to start

The right next step depends on who you are.

If you’re a school looking to book staff CPD or parent evenings, the Schools page covers our school programme in detail, including a free 30-minute consultation.

If you’re an employer looking for workforce digital wellbeing sessions or working-parent programmes, the Corporate Digital Wellbeing Programme page sets out the measurable approach we use.

If you’re a teacher who wants ongoing specialist development for your own practice, the teachers page introduces SMR Steady™ and The Teaching Room™ — with Early Access open until 1 August 2026 at 30% off for life.

If you’re with a sport organisation, book a discovery call and we’ll talk through what your team needs.

Every engagement starts with a free consultation. Get in touch and we’ll arrange a conversation.
