Empowering young people to contribute to the design of safety measures not only produces better resources — it helps ensure that policy reflects the realities of how online spaces are actually used.

Initiatives like this matter because effective digital safety policy depends on listening to lived experience.

#DRAGON #NSPCC #onlinesafety #onlineharms #childsafeguarding #childprotection

🧵 4/6

The key message is clear: online safety isn’t simply a technical problem. It is a social, educational & policy issue, & young people themselves are often best placed to explain where the real risks lie.

The project also drew on insights from youth groups across the UK’s devolved nations, helping identify shared challenges children face online.

The result is a set of practical resources — videos, posters & educational session plans — designed to support both young people & the professionals who work with them.

What makes this initiative particularly important is that it has been shaped with young people, not just for them. Digital Safety Ambassadors worked with groups across Scotland over the past year to understand how young people actually experience the online world.

X attended 13 meetings, a small proportion of the overall number, but still more than the child safety campaign group the NSPCC or the Molly Rose Foundation, founded by the family of 14-year-old Molly Russell who killed herself after viewing harmful online content.

Bend the knee to American Paedophilia or stand up for the nation's children (and adults), surely a no-brainer?

Unless your values come with a price tag...

Christmas isn't full of joy for everyone.

Especially those without a close circle of friends, who've lost loved ones or are struggling with their health.

Help is always only a phone call away.

🛡️ If we are serious about protecting children, we must focus on solutions — not just statistics.

The technology exists. The research exists. The urgency is unmistakable.

Our research underpins tools and training designed to prevent harm and support practitioners, parents, and law enforcement.

For years, the DRAGON team has conducted rigorous linguistic research using real grooming chatlogs shared by UK law enforcement, helping to understand how groomers communicate, how they exploit vulnerabilities, & how children respond.

#DRAGON #onlinesafety #onlineharms #NSPCC

🧵 2/5

The message is clear: we need multiple, coordinated safety measures across the entire grooming cycle. No single intervention is enough — but together, they can meaningfully reduce harm.

Strategies include:

🔸 Tools that can scan for nude images before they are shared.

🔸 Metadata analysis to spot suspicious behaviours without reading private messages.

🔸 Barriers that limit how adult profiles can search for & contact children.

Data shows how criminals are using private messaging platforms to manipulate and groom children We're urging tech giants to act as online grooming crimes reach record high.

Online grooming offences have reached record levels across the UK.

Alongside new data, the @nspcc.bsky.social has published new research outlining strategies to prevent, detect, & disrupt grooming.
