From 5-11 February 2024, the NSPCC are running the Game Safe Festival in which they are collaborating with developers, platforms, industry bodies, esports teams and influencers to play and act for a better way to game.

89% of children in the UK play video games, but online harms are increasing. 

If you’re a parent, you can make sure you know how to keep children safe while they game. You can also be confident about navigating the world of gaming so your child can come to you for advice and support.

In addition, the ESCB have online safety resources which can be accessed on the campaign pages.
