Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (2024) "Children's lives are increasingly blended between the digital and physical worlds, intertwining virtual and real experiences in their daily routines. Ensuring online safety for children is becoming a growing concern within the WHO European Region". This is because most children grow up using digital devices from a young age and are used to continuous connectivity. While there are many advantages and opportunities created in the online world, it still presents significant online harms, which may have an impact on young people's development both at a physical and mental health level. School nurses' specialist roles in encouraging a healthy and resilient lifestyle also extend to the online public health landscape. They are key in supporting children and young people to develop important skills (such as problem solving, communication, digital resilience) that are vital for navigating the online environment, building awareness and knowledge of online safety and encouraging positive online interactions with confidence.
