Your digital footprint is the collection of data you leave behind as you use the internet. It includes everything from social media posts and online searches to website subscriptions and e-commerce transactions. These elements collectively shape your online presence and can significantly impact your professional reputation within youth work.
Whether you're a youth worker interacting with young people online, or a manager establishing digital strategies, understanding your digital footprint is crucial for responsible and effective engagement.
