AI-generated content, cloned voices, deepfake videos and fabricated screenshots are making it harder for young people to recognise what is genuine online.

Our latest guide supports parents, carers and educators in helping children build the confidence and critical thinking skills needed to question digital content.

The guide explores:
• How AI-generated content and deepfakes can appear convincing
• 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.

🍎 BIG CHANGE — FREE SCHOOL MEALS FOR ALL UNIVERSAL CREDIT FAMILIES! 🍎

From September 2026, every child from a household receiving Universal Credit will qualify for free school meals — no matter what your income is! 🎉



📋 WHAT'S CHANGING:
🔹 Previously, there was a £7,400 annual income cap — families earning above this couldn't get free school meals even if they received Universal Credit 💷❌
🔹 From September: All children whose parents receive any amount of Universal Credit qualify automatically ✅
🔹 This change will help over 500,000 additional children across the UK! 🧒👧

💰 HOW MUCH COULD YOU SAVE?
🔹 Up to £495 per year, per child on school lunches! 🥪
🔹 Families with multiple children save even more! 💷💷💷



⚠️ IMPORTANT:
🔹 You still need to apply through the link below — it's not automatic 📝
🔹 If your child already gets free school meals, you may need to reapply to continue from September 📋
