The Seven DCA Frameworks
Digital citizenship can feel like a long list of rules. We turned it into seven simple ideas anyone can remember, whether they are ten years old or running a market stall. Each works the same way for a child and an adult. Only the examples change.
C
CARE
Respect and responsibility online
P
PAUSE
Think before you act
R
REAL
Spot what is genuine
T
TRACE
Your digital footprint follows you
M
MIRROR
How others, and AI, see you
F
FILTER
Sort good information from harm
L
LOCK
Privacy, passwords and account safety
Why frameworks, not a rulebook? A memorable word travels further than a lecture. These seven appear across every DCA lesson, game, poster and badge, so the same idea keeps reinforcing itself everywhere a learner meets it.
