LGFl Link
We are getting more and more reports from parents regarding online incidents. It's never easy to know how to keep our children safe when they aren't with us, and sometimes even when they are, if we don't know what's happening in their lives or on their devices! Who are they talking to, what are they doing, are they okay? If you would like further information regarding this please look at this information from LGFL. This page gives great advice, tips and hints on a variety of different topics.
PLease take a look.
