The guide provides parents and caregivers with clear information and practical steps to help them recognise online child exploitation, including warning signs that every parent should recognise. 

Its aim is to support parents and caregivers in identifying visible signs and changes in their child’s behaviour. The guide also offers practical advice on how parents and caregivers can support their children and explains where and how to report cases when a child is a victim of online abuse or exploitation.

The guide aims to strengthen parents’ awareness of the emotional and psychological impact that online risks can have on children, and encourages proactive prevention rather than reactive intervention.

The guide also aims to empower parents as the first line of protection in a rapidly evolving digital environment. It promotes open communication, trust-building, and the establishment of clear family rules for safe technology use, while also encouraging parents to seek support from professional services and reporting mechanisms when needed.
