Online safety book

This book covers some of the key online safety issues for young people and includes a range of practical tips and advice on what to do if things go wrong. You can also find a list of important services that can offer extra support.

(Please note: the resource was made prior to the introduction of social media age restrictions 10 December 2025. The social media minimum age restrictions aim to protect under-16s from pressures and risks they can be exposed to while logged in to social media accounts. However, no online platform or service is risk-free, especially for children. Online harms can also happen on the alternative sites and apps that under-16s may use for connection, expression, information and entertainment. The guide helps you support young people to have safer online experiences.)
