This Tuesday is World Internet Safety
Day, which aims to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology
and mobile phones, especially among children and young people. Social media in
particular has become part of our day to day lives and I think it is crucial
that we ensure young people are given the skills that they need to get a
positive experience from this resource.
To highlight this, police officers will be visiting schools
around Northumberland and hosting community drop-in events to give advice to
both children and parents on how to stay safe online.
I am proud to support this initiative, and urge internet
users of all ages to take full advantage of this opportunity. Internet safety
is an issue which affects all of us.
