ALL OF THE RISKS INVOLVED IN USING THE INTERNET CAN BE DEALT WITH.
VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS IN WALES (VAINWales) will provide you with training targeting identification of risks.
Greater awareness of the risks will mean you begin to approach use of the web with greater caution, and therefore protection levels will increase.
Here at VAINWales the BizGodmother is assigned the task of family liaison. She works with the family and not with children alone. The message we would like to impart is one of family integrated learning.
By YOU we mean your whole family. Children are at risk from predators and cyberbullying every time they enter chatrooms and engage on Facebook.
Do you know who your young children are 'friending' in the virtual world?
We want to make this awareness training accessible for most families, so Training Sessions are available in the comfort of your own home at an hourly rate of £10.
(Within a 25 mile radius of Swansea. Travelling Expenses are additional to the training rate).
When community training sessions are planned, notification will appear here.
The cost of training to PTA groups and other groups can be negotiated by contacting us.
The video that follows was made by an American High School boy called David Henderson. It is a powerful statement of the need to protect against the risks in using the Internet.
May I also draw your attention to the following message from Julie Walters about the risks of using the Internet.
(Permission has been given by the owner Mark Williams-Thomas, Criminologist and former Met. Police Officer working in the field of Child Protection).
The complete video is available. Please contact us for details.
