Olympic gymnast and Dancing on Ice star Beth Tweddle pledged her support for this year’s Safer Internet Day.
Commenting on her involvement, Beth said:
“It’s really important young people feel safe and empowered online and know how to report anything that upsets them or to tell an adult. It’s also vital that parents feel confident enough to discuss online safety with their children. It’s why I’m supporting the day to help raise awareness of what to do and all the help that’s available.”
