1. In April 2024, Ofcom research showed 32% of children aged 8-17 reported seeing something "worrying or nasty" online in the previous 12 months
2. Other research shows teachers see some barriers to effective online safety teaching as keeping pace with technology, understanding platforms, and lacking appropriate training
3. We believe current resources are often outdated, inaccessible, or may be seen as fear driven and that children can benefit far more from character led, emotion based stories that they may relate to
