A new initiative from Facebook will see users able to report suspicious online behaviour and also receive better internet safety advice.

The social networking site has joined forces with the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) to provide a facility for reporting suspected grooming or inappropriate sexual behaviour. Users will be able to access an advice centre from their homepage which will also feature an automatic advert for the ClickCEOP service encouraging those aged 13 to 18 to add the facility to their profile.

James Brokenshire, Minister for Crime Prevention said: “I am pleased that Facebook and CEOP have joined forces so that more children can report suspicious behaviour and gain access to the help, advice and support they need. I strongly urge parents to encourage their children to download this application now."

Client feedback

The service at Winston is so good that I don't feel the need or the desire to want to shop around for legal services. I find myself recommending you on a very regular basis.
Luke T, Harrogate
We recently used Winston Solicitors for conveyancing on both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new one. Michelle Ayres was exceptional throughout. She was accessible, proactive, and it genuinely felt like she was on our side and working in our best interests.There were a few challenges in the chain, but Michelle was always willing to take the time to explain the situation, outline our options, and keep everything moving. As our process stretched over 6 months, there were times when Michelle was out of the office, but Olivia Cooke and Samantha Robertson-Strong seamlessly picked things up and ensured nothing ever slipped.It was an outstanding experience that made a difficult and often stressful process far more manageable. We would highly recommend Winston Solicitors and especially Michelle to anyone, and we will certainly look to use their services again in future (although we plan to enjoy our new home and give ourselves a well earned break for now!).

The service I recieved regarding wills and powers of attourney, were handled in a very professional and sympathetic manner. Thanks must go to Monika for leading me through the" legal minefield" involved. My late wife and I originally used Winstons years ago for all our legal dealings at the time and we could honestly say we could not have chosen better.

Amr and Joe recently acted for me on the sale and purchase of properties. They were both very professional, responsive and promptly dealt with any enquiries. My experience with Winstons was really positive having used other firms for previous transactions. I would definitely recommend to family and friends!

I purchased my first house through Winston Solicitors. The experience I had from start to finish was amazing. I will definitely recommend Winston Solicitors to my family and friends and will be using them again in the future.
