Join the Movement: Help shape the Children’s Digital Wellbeing Framework.
Welcome to Thrive Digital Alliance - helping children thrive in an increasingly digital world - moving the industry beyond ‘do no harm’ to actively supporting children to thrive in digital environments.
Beyond Safety: A New Standard for Digital Flourishing
The Thrive Digital Alliance (TDA) is an independent social enterprise established to steward the Children’s Digital Wellbeing Framework. We are moving the industry beyond the "legal floor" of harm reduction toward a future where digital products are intentionally designed to help children thrive cognitively, socially, and emotionally.
Digital experiences do more than entertain; they influence how a generation learns, relates, and grows. Our Manifesto rejects the idea that protection is enough, calling for a design shift that prioritises emotional and social resilience. This is the foundation of the Children’s Digital Wellbeing Framework.
All accreditation decisions are made independently and free from commercial influence. We operate a strict conflict of interest policy, and any individual with a relevant interest is excluded from decision-making.
The Children’s Digital Wellbeing Framework follows a structured roadmap from founding stewardship to independent governance.
We have curated a live, ever-evolving Resource Bank featuring the latest research, toolkits, and industry insights in children’s digital wellbeing. This repository is designed to support your journey toward higher design standards, explore our collection here.
We’ve developed a streamlined self-assessment tool to help you determine your eligibility for CDWF Accreditation. This quick quiz provides immediate clarity on how your product aligns with our standards and identifies the best path forward for your team.
