• Why familiar voices, polished presentation and repeated claims should not automatically be trusted
• Risks linked to fake accounts, impersonation and misinformation
• The importance of source-checking and verifying messages through another route
• How adults can respond when harmful or deceptive content targets a child

With clear, practical advice, this resource helps adults strengthen digital literacy and support safer, more informed online experiences.

However, busy routines, safety concerns and limited access to outdoor space can make it harder for families, schools and carers to prioritise time in nature.

• Noticing wildlife during everyday routines

• Creating mini adventures
• Growing plants or building nature at home

With realistic ideas for all ages, the guide helps make outdoor time feel accessible, enjoyable and worthwhile.
