If you've bought your little one an internet-enabled device, such as a tablet, for Christmas it's much better to set up parental controls before you wrap it up and gift it. Children should always be supervised while using the internet but, even then, it only takes a second for them to accidentally access something they can't unsee.
Instructions for a range of devices can be found here β‘οΈ https://www.internetmatters.org/parental-controls/

π’ We kindly ask anyone who has been issued with a wheelchair or walking aid to return them to the volunteers desks or any of the Physiotherapy departments inside Pinderfields or Dewsbury and District Hospital.
With the wet weather we've been experiencing recently, it's especially important that these items are not left outside, where they may get damaged by rain or snow. Returning them indoors helps us keep them in good condition for others who may need them π
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding π
