The project aim is to promote the positive and safe use of digital media by young people (aged 12-17) adopting an approach that recognises young people’s right to digital engagement and shared responsibility for online safety. Working in collaboration with Youth Action and Student Edge, we have carried out research and created evidence-based social media education resources working with young people (aged 12-17) and parents and carers.
The research and project activities conducted over 2022 and 2023 included peer-facilitated focus groups, co-design workshops with young participants and parents/carers, a national survey and the production of a series of short form videos and fact sheets for our website and social media channels.
