INTERNET SAFETY
PREVENTION THROUGH EDUCATION
Sadly, substance abuse, antisocial behaviour, violence, crime and child abuse seem to be an ever-present menace in our communities, and the problems only seem to be getting worse. Highlighting issues such as these, and promoting measure to counter them, is of paramount importance to us, and through education and awareness, we aim to help reduce this worrying trend.
The guidance of parents, care providers and teaching professionals is essential to the education and safeguarding of our children.
Ofcom have found that three-quarters of parents have looked for information or advice on how to help their child manage online risks, and in this respect we provide an online library of parental resources, information sheets and lesson plans, together with our series of FREE magazines and booklets.
