PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN ONLINE – DON’T MISS THIS IMPORTANT SESSION

 

The internet is part of children’s everyday lives, but it is also a space where criminals actively target, groom, and exploit children through social media platforms, online gaming, and messaging apps.

Many parents are unaware of how grooming happens, how quickly trust can be built online, or what warning signs to look out for. By the time concerns become visible, harm may already have occurred.

Ask yourself:

  • Do you recognise the early warning signs of online grooming?
  • Do you understand how offenders manipulate children online?
  • Would you know what steps to take or where to get help if your children were at risk?

BAME HUB-UK invites all parents, carers, and guardians to attend a vital online safety session designed to provide practical, accessible guidance to help keep children safe online.
