UK Children Go Online is a project that explores the nature and meaning of children’s internet use and maps emerging patterns of attitudes and practices across diverse contexts and social groups in the UK. It is part of the ESRC’s
e-Society Programme and is based at the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
The research project’s aim is to balance an assessment of two areas of risk – (a) inequalities/the digital divide and (b) undesirable forms of content; with that of two areas of opportunity – (c) education, informal learning and literacy, and (d) new forms of communication and participation. The findings will contribute to the developing policy framework regulating children and young people’s internet use.
