Making Sense of Algorithmic Harm
This guide supports parents and carers to understand how algorithms shape what children and teens see online, including how personalised recommendations can lead to harmful or age inappropriate content. It explains how platforms amplify engagement over time and offers practical prompts to help families start open, age appropriate conversations that build awareness and critical thinking.
The resource also shares clear, practical steps to help children stay in control of their online experiences, including how to respond when content feels upsetting, use platform tools, and seek support when needed. It encourages ongoing, supportive conversations so young people feel confident recognising and managing what appears in their feeds.
