Research: Children’s Wellbeing in a Digital World

A research report series, now in its fifth year, on the wellbeing of children and young people in an increasingly digitalised world.

In the current, fifth, report, the authors look at how children’s online lives have changed over the past four years.

The findings are split into four sections:

Setting the scene: Explore how children spend their time online and the context for changes to their wellbeing.
A balancing act: Dive into the complexities of children’s digital lives and the drivers of wellbeing. We explore how time spent online is shaping children’s digital experiences.
No significant shift: Children are experiencing persistent levels of harm online. We explore the factors which influence these experiences.
Parenting in a digital world: Explore parents’ awareness of their children’s online lives along with the tools and techniques they use to support their children’s online safety.
