Safeguarding children & young people online can involve a range of issues e.g. cyberbullying, pressure to look ‘right’ & get ‘likes’, fake news, violence, extremist behaviour, grooming, child sexual & criminal exploitation and sexting.

There are 3 areas of concern for using the internet:

  • Contact – who else is the child in interacting with online and are they encouraging the child to do something harmful?
  • Conduct – is the child’s online behaviour causing concern e.g. making, sending and receiving explicit images, online bullying, and racism?
