Vodafone to donate a copy of #Goldilocks to every primary

Vodafone will deliver a copy of #Goldilocks, a book written to help parents and children talk about social media and how to use it responsibly, to every primary school in the UK. 
 
More than 20,000 copies of the book will be sent to schools as a resource to encourage conversations about the importance of being kind to others when using social media.
 
The Goldilocks story was reimagined for the digital age by award-winning author Jeanne Willis (Slug Needs A Hug, Tadpole’s Promise and Who’s in the Loo?) and the UK’s number one illustrator, Tony Ross (Horrid Henry, Gangsta Granny and the Little Princess series). 

It was released in December 2018 to mark the launch of Vodafone’s Digital Parenting website, a go-to-guide for parents on the latest digital safety and wellbeing issues. Based on positive feedback when it offered a free digital version of the book at launch and the recent publication of the Government’s Online Harms White Paper, Vodafone will now ensure that young children all over the UK have access to the book in the classroom or school library.
 
YouGov research conducted by Vodafone in 2018 showed that many children are both aware of and using social media from a young age. This is often before parents have had conversations with them about how to use social media safely and responsibly. The findings show that 48% of children are aware of social media by the age of seven.
