Some children with additional needs may experience the online world differently to their peers. They may find it harder to read social cues, manage emotions or respond to difficult situations online. Some children may spend more time online, be more trusting, compliant or anxious, or feel less in control of their online experiences.

Internet Matters have created a new online hub: Every Child Safe Online. This has practical resources to help children with additional needs have safer, more positive experiences online.

You can access the hub here.
