- For 5-7 year olds it incorporates cartoons and videos to explain key issues. It summarises these in a final section: top tips which are accompanied by appropriate illustrations.
- For 8-10 year olds it appeals to them as it is a bit more grown-up, the digital layout, the games and a cartoon-like cyber cafe.
- For 11-16 year olds it addresses much more sensitive topics appropriate for this age group. It suggests who they can talk to if they feel threatened online.
- For parents, the site splits advice into Primary and Secondary education. It establishes the risks that children can face online, what children actually do online and what prevention methods and tools there are available for parents to put into place. It summarises how parents can act on issues with 'top-tips'.
- For teachers and trainees, the site provides a number of resources not only for the teacher to familiarise themselves with ThinkuKnow policies but also for use in the classroom in order to raise awareness amongst children.
