NSPCC Learning has published information on online safety during the coronavirus lockdown The've pulled together resources (updated information on communicating with children via social media, running online services, tips for parents and carers and advice to share with children) to help you understand and tackle the risks children face online.

NSPCC has also partnered with O2 to create Net Aware, to help parents and carers who may be worried about their child sharing videos and images online. The content discusses why children use apps like TikTok and Snapchat, and provides guidance for parents and carers to help keep their children safe including: setting their account to private; reminding them not to post locations in real time or share personal information; and talking to them about sexting and sharing nudes.
