18.01.2022 Our research shows 25% of children aged 8-13 years have used the internet to chat to someone they didn’t know. Start a conversation with your child before a st...ranger does. Talk to them about how they can tell whether someone is safe to talk to whether they know them or not. As parents you have the life skills to teach your child to recognise the warning signs: https://bit.ly/2R6gqbj For more practical strategies head to eSafety Parents https://bit.ly/3gZEneJ ___________________ Play Your Part - National Child Protection Week #ncpw See more
