It's today and this year we're concentrating on the importance of filtering out the false and gleaning the truth from the vast amount of information available out there.
One area we want to concentrate on is sexual health and the risks of online blackmail. It affects 300,000 people a year in the UK and there is a need to be especially cautious surrounding the use of dating apps like Tinder or Hinge. Of course there are safety restrictions placed on these apps, but it’s important to be extra vigilant when interacting with others.
