A Guide to navigating Social Media Safely

This is a fantastic guide from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), it goes into lots of detail and I’m sure parents will find it interesting and useful. The guide goes into areas such as:

• How social media platforms and algorithms operate.
• The various types of harms that children may experience.
• Practical advice and guidance.
• Supporting resources.
