Being Prepared
It is not always easy to know how to safeguard children online, and which games, apps and devices might not be suitable and what we can all do to promote a safer digital experience for children of all ages. Setting up phones and all those other online devices, using social media and making video calls all need care to keep children safe.

Reporting Abuse
Anyone can be bullied or trolled on social media. It can be really hard to know what to do if it happens to you or someone you know. We can help you to cope and report the bullying.
Most websites and apps have rules against bullying and harassment, and can help if it's happening to you or someone you know.
If you've seen or experienced bullying on social media, it's important to:
- report what's happened on the site or app
- block the people bullying you
- take screenshots of nasty messages, but don't reply to them
- tell someone you trust, like your parent, carer or a teacher.
