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."

We recently worked with Leasa Foster at Winston Solicitors as our solicitor for purchasing our new home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Leasa was incredibly professional, thorough, and proactive throughout the entire process. She kept us informed at every stage, explained everything clearly, and always responded quickly to our questions — no matter how small.Buying a house can be stressful, but Leasa made the whole journey smooth and straightforward. Her attention to detail and calm, reassuring approach gave us complete confidence that we were in safe hands.We are truly grateful for her support and highly recommend Leasa Foster and Winston Solicitors to anyone looking for an efficient and reliable conveyancing solicitor.

Very handy as a local north Leeds firm, no need to travel to Leeds. Understood exactly what we required and prepared the documents carefully and quickly. Kept us informed as to progress throughout. I would recommend them for any private client work.

Didn’t have a single issue with Keertan, she was lovely and explained the process very clearly. Kept me updated at every stage and was very helpful.

I recently used Winston to help with the purchase of my new home. From start to finish, the service was excellent. Leads Foster was professional, efficient, and always kept me informed throughout the process. Every question I had was answered promptly, and everything was explained in a way that was easy to understand. The whole transaction went smoothly and on time, with no hidden surprises. I really appreciated the clear communication and friendly approach. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy solicitor.
