A new four-episode YouTube series from Childline shows how the service can help young people navigate the online world.
In ‘Where We Stand’, influencers Faith Kelly, Manrika Khaira, Tays and SV2 play a game to predict how young people will respond to statements about online life. Covering issues such as AI, screen time and online safety, the series reveals young people’s views and experiences.
‘Where We Stand’ has been created to support the manifesto of the NSPCC’s Voice of Online Youth group.
Voice of Online Youth is a group of 14 young people, aged 13–17, from across the UK. They’re passionate about helping other children have safe and happy experiences online. The group plays a strategic role at the NSPCC making sure that young people’s voices are heard and their perspectives are taken into account.

Young people tell us that they don’t feel heard about online safety and they don’t believe adults understand their experiences and perspectives.
So, we’re calling on professionals across the UK to share ‘Where We Stand’ and start a conversation with young people about their views and experiences.
See episodes of ‘Where We Stand’ on Childline’s YouTube channel.
