Online Safety
A report entitled, ‘Safer children in a Digital World – A summary for children and young people’ by Dr Tanya Byron was published in March 2008.
The report outlines an assessment of the effects the internet and video gaming can have on children. The information contained in the report details those aspects of internet and video gaming that can be positive, safety risks and suggested recommendations, which are useful for schools and parents.
