Tuesday 5th February is Safer Internet Day. With the spread of mobile devices, games consoles, phones, tablets, computers and internet TVs it is more important than ever to ensure that your children are safe online.

They share photos, information and comments without realising how easily the information can be obtained by people they have never met.
