Children’s Society: Social media guide for parents /carers

Young people are spending more and more time online. Whether for school or socialising, learning or creative expression, so much of their world exists at least partly online. As a result, social media is a big part of most teens’ lives. And many parents and carers worry about the content they’re seeing or the dangers they might encounter. That’s why we’ve created Social Media Safety: a guide for parents and carers.

Together with your young person, you can learn about how to set up controls on the content they might see online or on social media.
