Digital safety focuses on protecting children and empowering them to use the internet and digital technologies safely and responsibly, with proper parental supervision and guidance.

• 72% of children aged 8–12 use smartphones daily, increasing their exposure to digital risks
• 18% increase in cyberbullying cases among children, which may impact their mental health and behaviour
• Only 43% of parents regularly review their children’s online activity, creating gaps in monitoring and prevention
• 42% of parents say they need to better manage their children’s screen time
• Scammers can reach children through suspicious links, online games, and unverified apps

Example
Set clear time limits for device use, monitor the apps and websites children access, and teach them how to identify safe versus harmful content. Encourage open conversations about digital behaviour to promote responsible and secure internet use.

• Ignore abusive messages
• Use screenshots to save evidence
• Inform parents immediately if exposed to suspicious content
