MARK Burns-Williamson, West Yorkshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner is supporting the NSPCC’s Share Aware campaign.

The campaign is aimed at parents of children aged eight to 12 and features two animated films to be shown on prime time TV and digital spaces that follow the stories of two children who share too much about themselves online. Both films contain the simple message that although children are taught that it is good to share, this is not always the case online.

Parents’ concerns about the social networking sites have been researched by the NSPCC with the aim of the campaign to get families talking about socialising safely online.

The NSPCC has used the reviews to create a guide to help inform parents about the risks.
