Keeping safe online youth group
Facilitated meetings for young people from diverse backgrounds to help us understand the challenges they face.
- Part of
The Keeping Safe Online (KSO) Youth Group brings together young people from diverse backgrounds and different locations across Wales.
This national youth group is an important way for us to put learner voice at the centre of our work. It helps us to understand the challenges young people face when they’re online so that we can identify the best ways to support them, their schools and their families.
During facilitated meetings, group members:
- share their experiences of the digital world
- discuss the latest trends that are popular amongst their peers
- identify any concerns they have
- describe the real-life impact of any issues they encounter
Safer Internet Day
The group meet virtually several times during the school year and they also meet once in person to mark Safer Internet Day. For Safer Internet Day 2025, the group were hosted by Ofcom for a discussion about online safety then spent the afternoon creating content based on the theme of online scams.
Praesidio Safeguarding
The KSO Youth Group is facilitated by Praesidio Safeguarding, a globally recognised specialist online safety agency.
