What is #ScrollSAFE?

This September, First Steps ED launches #ScrollSAFE, a digital awareness campaign highlighting the impact of social media on mental health. Coinciding with the introduction of the Online Safety Act, #ScrollSAFE encourages young people and adults to pause, reflect, and take control of their online experience. Through tips, guidance, and practical resources, the campaign aims to support safer, healthier scrolling habits and spark conversations about the content we consume every day.

A vital step towards safer digital spaces.

The Online Safety Act is a groundbreaking legislation aimed at protecting users from harmful online content. By prioritising safety and mental wellbeing, it empowers individuals to navigate social media with greater confidence and awareness.

How we’re campaigning for change.

At First Steps ED, we know that raising awareness and driving action are key to creating safer online spaces for young people and families. Through our Scroll Safe campaign, we are talking more about eating disorders, engaging with Parliament, and listening to you!

We want to better understand the types of content that may affect people living with or recovering from eating disorders, and we need your help. Complete our short, anonymous survey and help us understand content online that may be harmful to those with eating disorders.

Switching off to tune back in.

We scroll without thinking. We compare without realising. We soak up hours of filtered, edited, AI-polished content and wonder why we feel worse than we did ten minutes ago. #ScrollSAFE is about the messy relationship between social media and mental health, especially when it comes to eating disorders, body image, and the constant pressure to look a certain way.
