N2 - More and more children around the world have access to an online device such as a smartphone or computer. When children go online, they can come across both opportunities and risks of harm. Since COVID-19, we have seen a lot more cases of online grooming and abuse. In this project, we wanted to find out if the risk of online grooming is the same for children in different parts of the world and we wanted to know how children in different countries make decisions about who to talk to and play with online. We want our project to help governments, businesses and organisations make the internet safer for all children, no matter where they live. We asked 604 children aged 8-18 years in Colombia, South Africa, Kenya, the Philippines, Cambodia, Finland and Australia to answer some questions: How do children decide if it is safe to talk with someone they don't know online? Do the decisions a child makes about talking to unknown others online change depending on where they are? es a child's decision-making process change depending on where they are? What tools and strategies do children use to keep themselves safe? Does a child's age, gender, culture or context background affect change what they do onlinehow they interact with unknown others? What might make children report someone online? What do children need from governments, technology platforms, organisations, educators and parents to keep them safe online?
