In a recent, national survey through thinkuknow.co.uk, students suggested that they would like their parents and carers to talk with them more about using online spaces for their social and romantic lives. We know that these topics aren’t always easy to talk about, so #AskTheAwkward has been created through the Think U Know website to help you to explore online relationships with your secondary aged children, making these conversations part of everyday life.

The following link provides information and support for parents and carers on how to approach these topics and also offers advice on how to keep conversations positive and what to do if your child tells you something that worries you.
