Staying safe and kind online
EE have worked in partnership with a number of organisations to create PhoneSmart. PhoneSmart has been created for kids, age 10-13, who have just received their first smartphone.
It's includes a tool for parent and guardians to help gauge their child’s readiness for the responsibilities of smartphone ownership, as well as helping to start the bigger conversations about the risks they might face online. There is also a Kid's PhoneSmart Licence (for children aged 10 - 13), which is a fun, interactive and educational course to help children learn how to stay safe and be kind online, and to encourage them to use their phones for good, not hate. The course is split into five episodes, where your child can follow four engaging young characters as they get their first phones and embark on their online adventures. Each episode covers key aspects of online behaviour, from cyberbullying to fake news and has fun quizzes, interactive elements and pop-up facts to help your child learn vital online do’s and don’t’s.

One of our parents signposted this potentially life-saving digital tool, which is free for parents to download. It was created to ensure more help and support is given to individuals searching for harmful content online. If a user does search for this, they will first be guided through a filter of breathing exercises and then very simple, uncluttered and calmly presented strategies and forums, help lines and mental health services they can access both now and longer term: accompanied with messages of hope and encouragement to keep safe.
