My data and privacy online toolkit

This is tookit that contains a range of resources that aim to help teachers, students and parents answer questions regarding data and privacy online. It has been designed and developed in discussion with young people in the UK.

It includes information and resources on: why privacy online is important, how online data is generated and used, children’s rights, privacy-related risks and protective strategies, where to seek support, suggestions and recommendations from children, and fun resources to watch and play.”
