Important online safety reminder issued by Hampshire County Council
The return of pupils to school, coupled with ever-growing online activity including expanding social media platforms, provides an opportunity to remind everyone about the importance of continuing to raise awareness of how to stay safe online.

Parents/carers should be encouraged to have conversations about the online activities in which children are engaged, who they are talking with and the safeguards they are taking.
Guidance on these conversations can be found at: Teaching Your Child about Internet & Online Safety | NSPCC.
