The Bromsgrove MP said: “It was great to attend the UK Safer Internet Centre event to mark Safer Internet Day 2023. Ensuring that children and young people across the United Kingdom are protected online is something I support wholeheartedly.”
“It is vital that we continue to strive to make sure that the UK is the safest place to be online. I encourage all schools, businesses and parents across Bromsgrove to engage in conversations with the children and young people in their care about online safety.”
“I will continue to work with my colleagues across Parliament to ensure that the internet is a safe place for our children and young people.”
A spokesperson for the UK Safer Internet Centre said: “It is vital that we reach as many children and their parents and carers as possible.
Safer Internet Day engages children and young people across the UK to encourage them to have a conversation about their online safety.
The UK Safer Internet Centre provides lots of information and advice to parents, carers, schools and children about online safety, and we would encourage anyone to check out the support we provide.”
