Children at a Clipstone school got a lesson in online safety from police officers.

Members of Nottinghamshire Police’s Sherwood policing team paid a visit to Samuel Barlow Primary Academy, on Church Road.

They spoke about online safety and made the children aware of their own digital footprint, as well as talking about ‘the new craze of catfishing and bullying within WhatsApp groups’.
