Gateshead CLC will host a session for parents on Thursday 11th February at 13 The Watermark. The session will be from 17.00 - 18.00. Any Gateshead parent is welcome to the meeting where information about keeping our young people safe will be discussed.

Today is the start of online safety week. This week we want to ensure that our young people make the best of using the Internet in a safe way. We believe the Internet is an amazing place for all people not just young people but young people especially should take care when contacting people via the internet. Communication skills are vital in the 21st Century and computers provide global access to people. Social Networking has really made its mark on our society and provides easy access to groups of like minded people but we must ensure our young people take precautions to safeguard themselves when online. A simple measure is to set privacy settings on their social networking site so that only known people can gain access to their group.
