Remembering VJ Day

Today we remember VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day), which took place on 15th August 1945 and marked the end of the Second World War.

After many years of fighting, people across the world celebrated the return of peace and looked forward to brighter days ahead. We also take time to remember the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers, sailors, aircrew, and the many families whose lives were changed by the war.

As we learn about the past, we can think about the importance of kindness, friendship, and working together to build a peaceful future.

Lest we forget. 🥀

🌐 Helping children stay safe online starts with a conversation. 💙

We encourage families to have regular conversations about online safety, set healthy boundaries, and make use of parental controls where appropriate. Talking openly about what children do online helps build confidence and keeps them safe.

👨‍👩‍👧 Looking for trusted advice? The NSPCC has a range of free resources for parents and carers, including guidance on social media, gaming, smartphones, parental controls and starting positive conversations about online safety.
