Children now go online to learn, play and keep in touch with friends. That opens up a world of opportunity, but it also exposes them to data breaches, cyberbullying, identity theft and exploitation.
What needs protecting
A child’s name, photos, location and school activities are all personal information. In the wrong hands, any of them can put a child at risk.
What adults can do
- Teach children how privacy settings work, and check them together
- Think twice before sharing a child’s name, photo or location online
- Make sure schools collect, store and share children’s data responsibly
Our commitment
At the Youth Development Forum, we believe every child has the right to digital safety and dignity. By raising awareness and encouraging responsible digital habits, we can build a safer online space for the next generation.
