Empower your practice
Barnardo’s Online risk guide is designed for professionals working with young people, to help them understand and manage risks associated with online activities. You can:
- search for information about potential online risks
- hear experiences from young people
- discover practical steps to help educate, protect and mitigate against online risks
Search for an online risk
For example, money muling or TikTok
Explore different types of online risks
Explore how young people experience life online
"The thing I found most useful about the Online risk guide is that it's divided into precise topics about what is currently trending– it’s not another vague and generalised resource about how the internet is 'dangerous' without offering real context."
