Global organizations including WHO, UNICEF and UNESCO have prepared a technical note pack about protecting children online. The pack contains five sections with relevant resources leading to more information on each topic. Here is a summary of their expert advice:
- First and foremost, children should be using channels that are age-appropriate. They should be taught to seek out help and support while online, and have enough internet literacy to make safe choices. Everyone should have the possibility to access the internet.
- Parents or caregivers should be trained in recognizing online risks and how to help child victims.
- Schools should provide mandatory training for teachers and use protection systems for their platforms/networks.
- The industry, as a key actor, should scan technology to ensure users are not exposed to online threats. It should share COVID-19 health info and make sure there are enough referral services and helplines for free.
- Governments should collect data on children’s conditions and take the right measures to improve their situation through ensuring the implementation of special laws to protect them.
