Everyone knows it's hard to keep ahead of the changing technologies and how best to support our children and keep them safe. We are pleased to be able to share these fantastic guides each month from the Knowsley City Learning Centres which have been designed to inform and update parents about new sites, exciting new ideas and opportunities along with handy hints for staying safe.
