In this podcast episode, we chat to Rebecca Wood, Swim England Talent and Events Welfare Officer and Carole Billington-Wood, NSPCC CPSU Senior Consultant about the effects of social media use on young people's wellbeing.
We look at how young athlete's are using social media to gain exposure for their sport, the impact of online abuse and what sports organisations and professionals can do to support young athletes online.
