At The Student View, we believe that in order for young people to be healthy, responsible citizens in a democratic society, they need to have access to, and have the skills to determine truthful, reliable and trustworthy information online. Young people need to know who to trust online, who to follow, what their rights are. In an unprecedented time of pandemic, environmental crisis, housing crisis, food poverty and so many issues that directly affect disadvantaged children and young people, it is vital that their voices are heard by mainstream media and policymakers.
