If you want your child to be safe on their journey to school, DON'T give them a smartphone.

Scrolling through social media instead of watching traffic won’t keep them safe.

You don't very often hear the word "phenomenal" used.

So when Clare Watson said it, I HAD to get her on record.

Positive Social deliverer Dan Ortiz had spent 2 days running sessions with her Year 7s at Lees Brook Academy in Derby - helping them make better decisions about social media.
