In our December Home Circles we highlighted Article 17 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child which states that every child has the right to reliable information from a range of sources, and governments should encourage the media to provide information that children can understand. Governments must help protect children from materials that could harm them.
Our questions were –
How do you find out what is happening in your community and in the world? What kinds of social media do you use?
Why is it important that there are rules about using social media sites?
Take a look through our answers in our Home Circle jotters …
Our doors will open at 6.00pm this evening for our Christmas Fayre.
Everyone welcome, we hope you can join us.
Remember its a cash only event.
