Digital safety guidance for children and families who are displaced, including those navigating unfamiliar platforms, language barriers, shared devices, and the effects of trauma.
Families who have sought refuge or asylum in the UK face a unique set of challenges when it comes to keeping children safe online. Children may have little or no experience of UK digital platforms, may be accessing the internet on shared devices in accommodation centres, and may have experienced significant trauma that affects how they interact with online spaces. Parents and carers often face language barriers that make understanding privacy settings or safety guidance difficult. This page offers practical steps tailored to these circumstances.
Displaced children can be particularly vulnerable to exploitation and grooming, especially when seeking connection and community online. Language barriers mean safety warnings and platform rules may not be understood. Shared devices in temporary accommodation can expose children to content intended for adults, or allow others to access their accounts.
