MARK Burns-Williamson, West Yorkshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, has pledged his support to the NSPCC’s ‘Share Aware’ campaign.
The campaign is aimed at parents of children aged eight to 12 and features two animated films to be shown on prime-time TV and digital spaces that follow the stories of two children who share too much about themselves online. Both films contain the simple message that although children are taught that it’s good to share, this is not always the case online.
Parents’ concerns about social networking sites popular with children have been researched by the NSPCC, and the core aim of the campaign is to get families talking about socialising safely online.
The NSPCC has used the reviews to create a new online guide to help inform parents about the risks of different social networking sites.
