St Albans schools are being invited to get their pupils involved in a free workshop about the dangers of social media.

The workshop is organised by law firm Cartwright King and will include a seminar by director and criminal defence solicitor, Andrew Brumhill, called Who Killed Dion, which can be part of schools’ PSHCHE curriculum.

The hour-long session aims to make students aware of the dangers of social networking using a real-life case.

During the workshop children will watch a DVD to gather the necessary information required to participate in an open discussion and be asked questions on who they think killed Dion.

The activity is based on a real-life case where the use of social media and networking was involved to organise a gathering in a park to attack the victim in question.

Students will take on different roles to present arguments for or against the influence of social media in relation to this crime as they debate the case.

Finally Andrew will run a quiz with a top prize of a £20 iTunes voucher.

Any teachers wishing to hold one of these events should contact Hayley Siong via email hayley.siong@cartwrightking.co.uk or phone 01234 263263.
