Research by Futuresource Consulting found that 98% of schools in the US and Western Europe are concerned about the safety of their students when engaging in esports. 

This panel will discuss the challenges faced by schools and universities with regards to security and safeguarding in esports - from ensuring students are playing age-appropriate games (according to the PEGI rating), to preventing exposure to harmful content (particularly for female students considering the rate of abuse/harassment they face when playing online). The panel will share best practices for safeguarding students, and how to alleviate the concerns of parents/stakeholders to ensure they do not impede adoption.
