The Children’s Commissioner has launched a guide for parents and carers on managing children’s digital lives, 'What I wish my parents or carers knew'.
The guide offers practical tips and advice for parents on supporting their children with online safety, screen time, dealing with negative online experiences and the use of Artificial Intelligence
Children have told the Children’s Commissioner that their parents and carers do not really understand their online experiences and would be shocked by how common some online harms are, but that if something bad happened online, many would not speak to their families first, if at all.
