By staying safe online we mean the critical awareness and behaviours to keep young people
safe from such threats as cyber bullying or grooming; by cyber resilience, we mean the
critical awareness, and the practical knowledge and skills, to secure personal accounts,
devices and to spot potential threats and scams.
Digital youth work includes: youth work delivered digitally (e.g., online gatherings), youth
work focussed on a digital activity (e.g., coding or gaming clubs), or youth work covering
digital content (e.g., employability, cyber resilience, staying safe online).
