Starting secondary school is a big milestone for children and their families. Alongside new friendships, increased independence and academic challenges, young people often experience greater freedom online. Many may receive their first smartphone, spend more time on apps, and begin communicating independently with peers.

While this independence is exciting, it also brings new challenges. As a parent or carer, your guidance plays a vital role in helping your child develop safe, responsible digital habits during this transition.
