Happy Internet Safety Day!

(0)
Although Safer Internet Day and its resources are primarily directed towards protecting children, the issue of user-safety is still very relevant to adult wards because:

  1. We’re dealing with vulnerable adults here – and the info is valuable to vulnerable people of whatever age and ability
  2. there may be issues about protecting children from Internet use by some patients
  3. patients who are parents may even appreciate some advice

So check out their website for more information.
