Policy
Creating policy change at a systemic level is essential for child safety online. We must focus on strategic preventive policy, to consider future generations, and prioritise vulnerable groups. This means ensuring these groups are central in developing national strategies.

Practice
To date, policy changes have been slow or stagnant. So what can we do now? At Makes Sense we advocate to big tech companies, government, schools, providers, and communities, to encourage them to take proactive steps on online safety for our kids now. Because it's the right thing to do - not simply waiting until they are forced to.

Parents & Caregivers
Broader changes are crucial, but what can we do at home? In our own families, we can advocate for our children’s needs and foster healthy conversations and approaches to tech. Through small but meaningful actions, we can protect our kids and make a difference right where we are and equip our kids with the right support. See resources here.
