Social interactions online are central to the digital experience of children moving to secondary school.
Not only are they learning to communicate with each other online, but they’re also making important decisions on how to present themselves to the world.
As such, it’s important to children that they have the right smartphone, use the popular apps and take part in the latest trends to feel like they ‘fit in’.
That means helping children find the balance between connecting with friends online and managing their safety and wellbeing.
