RITEC was launched in April 2022, with a report that includes a well-being framework for children in digital spaces. The framework, created in close consultation with children, is intended to serve as a first step toward helping industry and policy stakeholders develop a common understanding of how digital experiences can positively influence aspects of child well-being. The framework and the supporting research were developed by UNICEF and the Young and Resilient Research Centre at Western Sydney University. The research was multi-method and international, with participants from 13 countries represented in the qualitative data and 30 countries represented in the quantitative data, with input from children ranging in age from 7 to 18.
