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."

Leasa Foster and her team have made the sale of my property as easy as possible and have dealt promptly and efficiently with the whole process for me. I couldn`t have asked for better and would highly recommend them.

Very efficient and very pleasant to deal with, highly recommended

Despite a protected sale, Sidraa & Tom were the consummate professionals and kept everything on track

I was dreading the probate process after my husband sadly died earlier this year. Friends who had been in the same situation warned me it could take months or even years. I didn't even know what it involved, it was a complete mystery to me!Thank good ness for Emily Spencer at Winston solicitors who talked me through the whole process and told me what information I needed to complete the paperwork. Emails and phone queries were answered very promptly and once I'd submitted all the figures the grant of probate was applied for by Emily and was returned within a few weeks, not months! Great result and nothing like the trauma I was anticipating.
