It was great to meet with Facebook and Internet Matters this week to discuss how to protect children from harm online and cyber-bullying.
Internet safety is unfortunately a vastly increasing concern for parents and guardians due to the wider access young people now have to the internet and social media. It is vital to be aware of what resources are available to monitor and protect children against these threats.
I also consulted with Internet Matters General Manager Carolyn Bunting and anti-bullying ambassadors from the charity the Diana Awards about how to eliminate bullying and engage students within the constituency in social action online.
I am pleased that Facebook are working together with the non-profit organisation Internet Matters to ensure that children have a positive experience online.

I would encourage everyone concerned about the online environment to use the tools provided by Facebook to monitor what children are accessing online.
