The children had a visit from The 2 Johns.

The session focused on the children’s online activities, such as gaming, their use of social media and the effect these can have on their mental health.

The children were encouraged to be aware of the nature of the possible threats that they could encounter whilst engaging in activity through the Internet; these could be security threats, protecting and managing your personal data and avoiding harmful or illegal content.

They also covered more sensitive areas such as online reputation management, the possible exposure to indecent images and the accidental creation of indecent images, through their usage.

The children were given advise on how to deal with these sensitive topics. But above all they were encouraged to discuss any concerns and issues they may encounter with the trusted adults in their lives.

The children found the session eye-opening and informative.
