From January to April in 2024, we asked four groups of young people from different parts of Scotland to explore their understanding of cyber resilience and to think about youth work’s role in supporting them.

In the focus group conversations, young people identified a range of online safety and cyber resilience issues affecting them and people they know:

• Cyberbullying
• Pressure – to stay connected and share location data
• Grooming and online exploitation
• Scamming/phishing
• Addiction to digital activity, including social media and gaming
