Digital 5 A Day Campaign - Simple steps to a balanced digital diet and better wellbeing

The campaign was launched at the beginning of August 2017.It is a guide for parents to help them to encourage their children to enjoy the online world without being consumed by it.

 

 

Anne Longfield The Children's Commissioner for England, who implements the campaign, says: The internet wasn't designed with children in mind, yet a third of its use is by children and they themselves tell us they see no difference between ‘online life' and ‘offline life'. To them, it's just ‘life'. The digital world is an amazing place, but it has few rules, is vast and fast moving. I know many parents feel out of their depth or are even scared to challenge their children's use of the internet and social media and are looking for some simple advice.
