Hi I'm Anna 👋
I'm the founder of Screen-Safe and Mum to two tech loving girls.
17% of 3 & 4 year olds have their own social media profiles (Ofcom).
This highlights the urgency of discussing online safety with both children and parents early on. I equip schools and parents with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to enhance children’s safety online in an age-appropriate, engaging, and nonjudgmental manner.
Children must be taught digital literacy and wellbeing, akin to learning road safety or self-care. This includes recognising fake news, handling cyberbullying, and encountering inappropriate content.
While parental controls have their limits, understanding children’s online behaviour and the functionalities of their platforms empowers us to be their most effective safeguard. It's crucial, especially for teenagers, that we guide them in navigating the online world safely, which is why partnering with schools and parents is so vital.
