Staying safe online

Many of us, especially young people, connect with our friends and communities through social media every day. It’s can be a fun way to keep up with friends, get creative and record memories. However, for children and young people, we know that the internet can pose a number of risks.

Here you’ll find a list of resources that can help young people access the tools to help them navigate the internet and social media safely. As well as useful resources for parents and trusted adults.

BBC Children in Need recently launched on TikTok and we have also included specific help for staying safe on this less familiar social channel.
