WITH the increasing use of the internet by children, criminals are constantly finding new ways to expose them to real danger.
Which is why West Mercia Police has launched a new e-safety bulletin service, providing timely updates to parents and carers in Redditch, Bromsgrove and Droitwich from a trusted source.
Working with the Local Authority, the campaign will be communicated through schools, and parents/carers are being asked to visit westmerciabulletin.org.uk to sign up.

98% of respondents, who included parents, grandparents, step parents, aunts and uncles, said they were either satisfied or very satisfied with their children’s centre, an increase of 1% on the results of the 2010 survey.
Social care costs ‘should be capped at £35,000’

Council-funded home help and care home places for the elderly and adults with disabilities are currently only offered to those with under £23,250 of assets.
The Dilnot report said the threshold should rise to £100,000 and a £35,000 lifetime cap on costs would be “fair”.
But the Treasury is known to have doubts about the expense of the plans.
