| Hi, |
| |
| Are you hosting a parents' event this Safer Internet Day or would like supporting material to give to your parents? We've just released new resources around the theme of managing your online identity. |
|
| As this years' Safer Internet Day theme is focused on helping children and young people create a space where they are #FreeToBe who they are online, we've created a guide for parents on how they can play a role in supporting their children. |
|
| We'd encourage you to share these with parents and carers too. If you have any feedback get in touch on our Facebook page @InternetMatters. |

| Helping young people manage their online identity |
| For young people having an online identity can be liberating as it encourages self-expression and allows them to connect with others. However, it can create a lot of pressure. |
| To help parents support their teens to manage their online identity and get the best out of their time online, we've have created a simple guide with practical advice and a video from our Ambassador Dr Linda Papadopoulos. |
