New website helps children and families navigate the digital world

A new online safety platform has been launched to help children, young people and their families learn about how to navigate the online world safely and responsibly.

DigiSafe Jersey is a website offering support and advice to help children understand potential harms, as well as teaching parents and carers ways to keep them safe.

Assistant Children and Families Minister Malcolm Ferey says the launch of the website reflects the government’s commitment to safeguarding and empowering Islanders in an increasingly digital world.

"DigiSafeJersey is a fantastic example of collaboration. 

"This will be a resource that will continue to be updated to benefit the entire community."

The government has developed it with children who are part of the School Council Network.

Pupils created scenarios to shape new guidance.

It follows calls from a scrutiny panel for the government to take more action to protect children in Jersey from online harms.

It made 38 recommendations, Ministers have accepted 12, partially accepted 22 and have rejected three.

Islanders can find out more information by visiting DigiSafe Jersey.
