This week’s Online Safety guide is about Ofcom’s annual ‘Children and Parents: Media Use and Attitudes’ report 2023.
This report provides a comprehensive picture of how young people used and interacted with the internet in the preceding year. It’s a fascinating snapshot of what games and apps young people are currently favouring, how long they spend online and how tastes change at certain ages.
While some of Ofcom’s latest findings will probably come as scant surprise (YouTube being by far the most popular platform among under-18s, for instance), other conclusions may raise an eyebrow or two. This special #WakeUpWednesday guide presents some of the report’s most eye-catching facts and figures in an accessible infographic format.
In the guide you’ll find statistics and trends such as the current most popular platforms for young people and the proportion of children in each age group who play online games.
If you want to find out more, you can find the full report here
Also, we will be organising a Parent Workshop this term about this.
