Malicious Communications

Malicious Communications has been an ongoing problem we have had in Lincolnshire for the last few years now. It is one of the top 5 crimes in which our 14-16 year olds have received a criminal conviction for. Online behaviour is something we talk regularly to children and young people about across the county within our online safety sessions. We want to also make sure parents are aware of these laws and the potential consequences our online behaviour can have in the real world, for our children’s futures. We have attached a document which outlines the different laws regarding online behaviour, this is to accompany our video aimed at parents Stay Safe Talks - Malicious Communications (youtube.com)/ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akl9CgpP9t8We) would appreciate if you could share the video and attached factsheet through your newsletters to help educate parents on this issue.

Kind Regards,

Kathryn
