ARCHIVED Safeguarding Media Stories
‘Older’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘no longer relevant’!
Whilst these articles may no longer be ‘current’ news, the content is more than likely still HIGHLY relevant and WELL worth checking out when you have a moment; covering topics such as self-harm, online safety/grooming, bullying, racist abuse, trafficking, child sexual exploitation, female genital mutilation (FGM) – and many others that parents/carers should be aware of and perhaps ‘looking out for’ in their own children and their children’s friends.
