Learn some of the buzzwords

Anisa Morridadi, Founder and CEO of Youth Engagement agency Beatfreeks, which runs the ‘Be Internet Citizens’ campaign, says: ‘Speaking openly and honestly with children about online safety from a young age means that should your child encounter anything online that doesn’t feel right, they’ll feel confident alerting parents, guardians or teachers, and know how to use the reporting functions on the platform they use.

It’s about giving children the knowledge to recognise their own vulnerabilities in online spaces, and the tools to keep themselves safe.

For parents, it’s important to have an idea of the platforms kids are using and some of the current buzzwords – knowledge is power.’ #cheugy – the opposite of trendy #cap – lie
