Children and young people can often become involved in social media, apps and websites at a young age, despite guidance suggested otherwise.
They become familiar with popular sites like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and Twitter.

There can also be negatives too and there are risks that children, young people, parents and carers need to be aware of in order to stay safe online.
