#WakeUpWednesday

National Online Safety have created a free online safety guide for schools to share with parents and carers about Grand Theft Auto (GTA); the 18+ rated game which encourages users to break the law in order to succeed and progress through the game.

With over 100 million users on the game’s online social club alone, Grand Theft Auto is hugely popular amongst young people under the age of 18!

We are sharing their guide for parents and carers:
