Using Digital Matters at home

Learn through stories, together

You can use Digital Matters at home to explore online life side by side with your child.

Through Once Upon Online, children step into interactive stories where they make choices and see what happens next. You can pause, talk things through, and use each story as a natural starting point for conversations about the digital world.

It’s a flexible way to support what children may be learning at school and to build confidence together at home.
