Search engines are a huge part of daily life, helping us find information in an instant. But with this convenience comes a hidden risk, especially for young users.
With billions of websites just a click away, children can easily encounter misleading, inappropriate, or even illegal content. Search engines don’t always filter this effectively, and features like AI-generated summaries or unlabelled ads can make things even trickier to navigate.

From the risks of misinformation and AI errors to practical steps like activating parental controls and promoting digital literacy, it’s packed with expert advice to help keep children safe online.
