Win a year's membership to Online Them and help protect your children from cyberbullying

Bullying isn't what it was. Kids have got one eye on the kids lurking behind the bike sheds, and another on their social notifications. Cyberbullies are silently muscling into your home after school, inhabiting your child's bedroom and lighting up their bedside table in the middle of the night. As much as 55% of children in the UK are suffering. Ahead of Stop Cyber Bullying Day on 17th June, let's commit to protecting our kids on the web.

 

But no-one wants to restrict their kids freedom online to the point it impacts their learning and digital skills so we've teamed up with consent-based online monitoring tool Online Them to give you the opportunity to test a tool that flags unusual behaviour on your child's social accounts such as sexual language or even if they make friends in countries they have no real connections.

 

Up for grabs is one year's membership to Online Them. Simply enter below and select as many social entry options as you like. The more options you choose, the more likely you are to win. Good luck!

Free Open Days with London Fire Brigade & PLAYMOBIL!

Children from across the capital learnt important fire safety lessons recently as London Fire Brigade used PLAYMOBIL toys and vintage fire engines to make them the heroes, in celebration of the Brigade's 150th year. The Soho Fire Station launch kicked off a series of 65 free open days across the capital throughout 2016, to teach children who to call when they are in danger.

The upcoming anniversary open days will be perfect days out for anyone who's ever fancied playing firefighter for a day, taking place across London from April through to December. Children big and small can meet real firefighters and life-sized PLAYMOBIL ones, plus enjoy toys and activities galore.

As part of the Brigade's 150th year, they appointed their first-ever Young Fire Safety Officer, 7 year old Archie Cosaitis, to head up its specialist PLAYMOBIL firefighter crew. He was inspired by the their catchy sing-a-long video already being used by London Firefighters and the Brigade's Education team as part of their fire prevention outreach work. It shows children how London Fire Brigade fights more than just house fires and highlights how much they do for the community.
