Vodafone and The Diana Award have set up the Be Strong Online digital skills programme to encourage older children to pass on their knowledge to younger peers.

Dr Richard Graham, a leading child and adolescent psychiatrist, comments: "The Be Strong Online modules address many of the key issues and create an opportunity for teachers and students to think together and develop their thoughts across the many varied online challenges and opportunities." Dr Graham also talks about the importance of building digital resilience in this video for Safer Internet Day 2017.
