The levels of potentially harmful exposure young people are experiencing has escalated over the period of the Covid epidemic. This is often affecting children and young people's mental health and well being but can also lead to manipulation and exploitation
We know that monitoring and regulating children and young person's activities in this respect is very difficult for parents across the board.
