We’re giving you a little help to stay safe online, together with Internet Matters
We’re proud to sponsor Safer Internet Day 2024, which takes place on Tuesday 6 February, and raises awareness for a better internet for all, especially children and young people.
This year’s theme is all about making a difference, managing influence and navigating change, which we believe starts by setting your child up safely online using our Little Digital Helps Toolkit .
Created in partnership with online safety experts Internet Matters , this helpful tailored toolkit is packed with resources to help them navigate an ever-changing digital world.

First phone for kids – we’re here to help
We asked parents and carers about the challenges they’ve faced setting online safety rules and controls to keep their children safe online. We found that only half of them had set up safety controls before handing their children their first phone, so we’re here to help.
Together with Internet Matters, we’ve rounded up some simple steps you can take to make sure you’re setting your child’s phone up so they can swipe, surf and scroll safely.
