This UNICEF technical note aims to protect children online during the COVID-19 lockdown when increased online activity puts children at greater risk of online harms such as sexual exploitation, cyberbullying, and online risk-taking behaviour. 

The note is aimed at helping governments, ICT companies, educators and parents ensure that children’s online experiences are safe and positive during COVID-19.  Recommended actions are provided to mitigate online risks around the following five areas:
1. Empower children online
2. Support parents and caregivers to help children stay safe online 
3. Provide a safe online learning experience for students
4. Make online platforms safe and accessible for children
5. Strengthening national prevention, response and support services.
