Helping children to manage their digital footprint
Course overview
Every click, post, and share leaves a mark online. This module is designed to help families guide children in understanding and managing their digital footprint, so they can build a positive reputation and protect their future opportunities. Learn why your child’s digital footprint matters, and how a single post today could affect job or university prospects tomorrow. The module offers conversation starters to help you talk openly with your child about their online presence, privacy, and the impact of what they share.
Discover practical tips for setting privacy settings together, thinking before posting, and cleaning up old content. You’ll find advice on searching your child’s name online, removing outdated posts, and being mindful about who they follow and what content they engage with. The module also explains the risks of oversharing, including how personal details can be used to compromise passwords, and encourages children to share only with people they know and trust.
Promote positive online behaviour by encouraging respectful communication, sharing achievements, and joining supportive communities. The interactive family digital footprint audit makes learning a shared experience, helping everyone review and improve their online presence together.
