Watching and sharing videos online

Lesson plan looking at watching and sharing videos online for young people under the age of 13.

Developed in response to feedback from parents and professionals about the use of video-sharing platforms by young people under the age of 13, including TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, Instagram and Snapchat.

This lesson supports learners to:

  • Recognise the possible risks of using online video-sharing platforms.
  • Understand that not all video content should be shared with all audiences.
  • Develop a bank of practical strategies to use on online video-sharing platforms.

It also includes teacher guidance on how to talk about age-restricted platforms with young people who are not yet old enough to be using them, but may already be doing so.
