Last year during Digital Parenting Week, we launched #OlleeApp, a digital friend for children aged 8-11 created by Parent Zone and funded by @BBCCiN's #AMillionAndMe initiative.

One year on, we're delighted to announce the launch of Ollee V2 🎉 ow.ly/YGIb50GrqFL #DPW2021
@BBCCiN We're live tweeting the highlights from our #OlleeApp launch event 📣

Stay tuned to hear our findings from the last year, and what's new with Ollee V2.
@BBCCiN A quick intro to #OlleeApp 🤝

Ollee is a free tool designed to help children explore feelings around a range of topics, like school, friends and family, and support conversations about what's on their mind with a parent through connected accounts: ow.ly/7dbD50GrpL4
Since launching last year, #OlleeApp has had a really positive impact, reaching over 300,000 families and providing over 1000 hours of free mental health support to date.
In order to make #OlleeApp even better for families, we've been engaging in ongoing youth consultation with the help of our sister organisation, @voiceboxsite, and their youth ambassador programme 👇

@voiceboxsite A key learning from our youth consultation was around children’s use of tech - whilst they loved #OlleeApp being online, they really wanted a native app they could download on their devices.
@voiceboxsite We're excited to share that #OlleeApp is now available as a native app and can be downloaded from both the Apple and Google Play stores 🤳 Try it out 👇 ow.ly/xx8O50GrsAz
@voiceboxsite From our consultations, we also learnt that children wanted to be able to use #OlleeApp when they couldn’t identify exactly what emotion they were feeling. To help them work it out, we've added a new ‘I don’t know how I feel’ pathway to Ollee V2: ow.ly/R0qv50Grp1I
So, what else is new with #OlleeApp?

Following feedback from children, we've developed new enhanced advice cards that include images and videos promoting mindful activities like guided breathing and positive visualisation 💭
We have two support packs available for #OlleeApp - a school pack aimed at using Ollee in the classroom and a professional pack to help family facing professionals use Ollee in their work. Both of these packs have been updated for the launch of Ollee V2: ow.ly/FJN050Grt27
We hope you enjoyed getting to know a bit more about #OlleeApp V2.

Be sure to try it out for yourself and let us know what you think 🤳 ow.ly/Skoi50Grtnm

When confronted with unusual and fast changing events, it’s easy to lose track of all the information that suddenly becomes available through various channels. However, it’s important to keep a clear mind and try to be careful when choosing which sources of information to trust.
While there are many well established, reliable organisations that are doing their due diligence to make sure their news is verified – with fact-checking processes set in place and ethical guidelines for their writers – social media platforms can be less reliable.
It's important users think critically about the content they are consuming before sharing it with others - is it from a reliable source or a niche Twitter account recently created and with very few followers, for example.
