Children face a range of risks online, and the harms they may experience can be complex and nuanced. The severity of harm can also vary between children. In light of this complexity, we need to understand the mechanisms by which online content and conduct may give rise to harm.
This research explored how different risk factors combine to increase the likelihood of harm to children. The findings help us understand what is needed to keep children safe online. We will use them to inform our online safety work, including our guidance to regulated services on how they meet their duties.
