Introduction to the Case Study Collection

The Cyber Trust
Part of The Cyber Trust Family Internet Monitoring Project

This collection of case studies explores real-world news stories highlighting how children and young people can be placed at risk through their online activities.

The collection is drawn from real cases investigated by the Cyber Choices team at the National Crime Agency and stories reported in the press.

All of these cases could have been prevented had parents been able to monitor their child's online activity and intervene.

This podcast raises the potential impact of fake information on election outcomes.
