The Inclusive Digital Safety, created jointly by Internet Matters and online safety charity SWGFL, provides resources on online harms for parents, carers and education professionals supporting the UK’s most vulnerable children.

The hub contains content designed for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), those currently or previously in care, and children in minority groups as well as young people who identify as LGBTQ+.

Professionals will also be able to access a moderated online forum to discuss issues and experiences related to online harms. It will initially be supported by SWGfL specialists to ensure any questions are responded to when it's first launched, the charity said.
