The Carly Ryan Foundation have designed a fantastic app called Thread.

This personal safety app is for everyone but specifically designed for children 8 years and up who use online devices.  It takes about 2 minutes to download and it’s free so why not?

With Thread one quick touch provides an immediate connection between your child and their carer,  emergency services if necessary, and their location.  It encourages users to communicate with a trusted adult with a quick check-in and has a personal safety alarm.
