Discord is one of the most popular communication tools for gamers. It allows you to create or join what are known as ‘servers’, where different users can talk in groups via text message or voice call. There is also the option to send direct messages and make video calls. This means there are safety risks to children using this service. The National Online Safety page has issued this guidance to help parents understand the risks and keep their children safe.

The National Online Safety page has many guides for parents covering a range of apps, games and programs that children use frequently. For more information visit:
