The internet is probably the greatest invention of the 20th century but for all the wealth of information we can find on the world wide web, and the global communication we now have thanks to social media and VOIP services like Skype, it has also created new threats to our children’s safety that we must all be aware of and prepared for.
Over the course of this year, we will be posting a series of guides and information to this page to help you stay on top of internet security – from how to secure your child’s phones to how to spot “fake news” and misinformation online. Remember to keep checking back for more!
