13 September 2019<\/strong> -Does your child know how to keep their personal data safe, or recognise trolling? To keep children safe online, dtac in partnership with Telenor Group and Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA), is  <\/span>launching a new interactive website, SafeInternetForKid.com, to be used by schools, pupils and parents.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The internet can be a challenge to all of us. Who can you trust online? Is it ok to post that picture of your friend on social media without asking? Where is the line between humour and hurtful comments? Who can help when things go wrong? Being online provides boundless opportunities, but also some real threats.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see that many young people are more tech-savvy than their parents, but that does not always mean that they know how to stay safe. This is why dtac has closely worked with Telenor Group to leverage the expertise of Parent Zone, the global experts in digital family life, to develop SafeInternetForKid.com<\/a>, an online curriculum that teachers and parents can use to teach children and youths how to get the most out of the internet, while avoiding danger. dtac is pleased to introduce this global online curriculum in the collaborative framework with DEPA to promote digital literacy as a part of the digital economy promotion policy,\u201d says Alexandra Reich, Chief Executive Officer, dtac.<\/p>\n

DEPA encourages Thai people, especially children, to increase knowledge and skills  for Digital Technology while growing immunities to the risks of Internet that are usually complexed, instant and impactful.  DEPA has the Digital Manpower Fund where we use as a mechanism to collaborate with other players to combat with the online risks and to improve Thailand\u2019s digital economy,\u201d says Asst.

Every child should be safe online. That is unfortunately not always the case. A survey of Thai children and online risk during November-December 2017 by Child Online Protection Action Thailand (COPAT), found that a sample of Thai children all over the country aged 9-18, children are exposed to online risks such as pornographic risks 68.07% cyberbullying 46.11% and dating friends online 15.97%<\/p>\n
