Image-altering filters are now embedded across social media platforms, shaping how young people present themselves and interpret the world around them.

While these tools can appear harmless, they can also contribute to unrealistic expectations, social pressure and a blurred sense of reality.

Our latest hashtag guide supports educators and parents in understanding these challenges and responding effectively.

The guide explores:
• The impact of altered beauty standards and comparison culture
• Risks linked to hidden advertising and sexualised edits
• The influence of filtered content on confidence and identity

It also provides clear, practical strategies to promote media literacy, build resilience and support healthier online behaviours.
