Guidelines: Digital aspects of child protection concepts

This guide is for anyone involved in developing child protection policies. It aims to ensure that as few of the digital aspects that are so important in the lives of children and young people as possible are overlooked. The guide focuses on six key issues: content development and media work, social media activities, online communication with children and young people, media use and media education, media literacy and data protection. For each of these topics, it describes the potential risks involved, provides reflection questions for self-assessment and highlights possible measures to minimise these risks.
