O2 NSPCC - Let's keep kids safe online

O2 NSPCC - Let's keep kids safe online

To kids, online life is real life. They see no distinction between the people they speak to over social media and their friends at school. And the experiences they have over the internet are as real to them as the activities they take part in. When it comes to safety, children need us to be aware and involved in what’s going on - both online and offline. And that's why we’ve joined forces with the NSPCC. Our aim is keep kids safe by helping UK parents and guardians to explore and see the internet as children do - a world that’s creative, fun and exciting - as well as understand the real dangers that exist online..

The Partially Sighted Society

The Partially Sighted Society

My name is Anita Plant and I am the Executive Director of The Partially Sighted Society. We recently hosted a technology day with Mark Skelton and his team at The Partially Sighted Society which is a registered charity providing help, support and equipment for anybody with a visual impairment and I must say how impressed I was with Mark and his team. The day was well attended and the feedback from our clients was extremely positive.  Everybody felt they had learnt something and wanted to know when the next day would be!  I would like to say thank you to O2 and Mark for taking the initiative in this area and look forward to working together on more events in the future.
