Online Safety Information

Introduction

Online spaces, games and media form a large part of life for young people growing up today. They offer a platform to connect with others and to learn.  Parents will be aware social media sites can be used to exploit children’s vulnerability.  By understanding the situations they may encounter you will be better placed to offer them advice on how to deal with them.
