A route to help for young people online

Context

At the 2026 Singapore Youth Policy Competition, my team developed the Youth Digital Safety Pathways Framework and placed First Runner-Up. We focused on what happens between recognising a problem and getting the right help.

My role

I contributed to the team proposal and helped work through how a school-based route for triage could fit alongside the roles of platforms and other organisations.

Approach

The team mapped possible routes for escalation and considered what schools could handle, when a platform needed to act and which cases would need a referral. We framed the proposal as a pilot so implementation questions could be tested.

Evidence

The illustration is an original diagram of the case theme. I shared the result in my competition reflection on LinkedIn.

What I learnt

A reporting route needs clear ownership at each handover, especially when an issue moves between a school and a platform.
