Facebook starting to help protect children

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

I just dealt with Leasa in the recent purchase of my first home. Can not recommend her. Fast, efficient and has an eye on everything. Managed to get me from offer accepted to moving in less than 11 weeks.

Richard

The whole process of sorting out my wife's estate and a lasting power of atorney was made a relatively easy to understand process because the team we dealt with spoke to us in an easy to understand language. They also acted quickly at every stage as well as always keeping us updated if there were any delays.

David

We’ve recently completed both a sale and a purchase with the help of our conveyancer, Leasa, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, her communication was outstanding and she kept us informed at every stage and made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. Leasa’s professionalism, attention to detail, and transparent approach gave us complete confidence throughout. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a conveyancer.

I was recommended by a work colleague to use Samantha at Winston’s for buying my first house. They were brilliant at communicating and replied to me so quickly! No question was too silly. Such a smooth process and I would definitely recommend. Really appreciate the help - thank you!!

Excellent. Engaged, honest and quick throughout. When they said something would be done, it was. Couldn't be happier.
