Local Assembly Member Paul Davies is supporting the NSPCC's Share Aware campaign, aimed at parents and carers of children aged 8-12 – the age at which they start doing more online, become more independent and use a greater range of devices. The campaign aims to encourage parents and carers to understand online safety and to have conversations with their children about keeping safe.
Mr Davies said, "This is a very important project that helps to raise awareness of the dangers that the internet can pose to children. The Share Aware campaign aims to give parents the tools to feel confident to have conversations with their children about the internet, by providing a number of resources and guides about online sites such as social networks and even apps."
He added," I would encourage parents across Pembrokeshire to take just a couple of minutes to read more about the NSPCC's campaign at www.nspcc.org.uk/shareaware. This campaign will not only help parents talk to their children about staying safe online, but also encourage providers to take action to make their sites safer for children."
