AN INTERNET safety campaign is set to be launched to help young people stay safe online. The NSPCC is working with Blackburn Children’s University, Blackburn and Darwen Council and Youth Action on the campaign, to help families across the region learn how best to protect themselves and their children online. Blackburn with Darwen Safety Net will support parents and carers, as well as professionals working with children, in sharing online safety tips and messages, with a campaign to be shaped by young people themselves. Parents, carers and young people are being asked to take a survey about online safety to help shape the campaign which started with online safety advice shared on a digital display screen in Blackburn town centre last month.

A new online safety campaign aimed at protecting children in their digital worlds is being promoted on a huge screen in Blackburn town centre. The digital screen, which is located close to the town hall, has been sharing online safety help and advice as part of the new campaign, called Blackburn with Darwen Safety Net. Recent analysis by the NSPCC found the coronavirus pandemic created the perfect opportunity for online offenders, after a surge in online grooming crimes was reported.
