Young people aged between 11 and 14-years-old from across West Yorkshire have been challenged to help the police shut down cyber crime.
West Yorkshire Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Yorkshire have launched their online safety competition for a second year following a successful pilot.
The competition is aimed at school pupils in years 7, 8 and 9 and challenges them to form a team and design a resource to help keep people safe online. The resource can take any form such as a website, leaflet, phone app or even a rap song!
Corpus Christi Catholic College from Leeds won the competition last year with their entry, a rap/dance/drama medley, on what to do if you're being cyber bullied.
Mark Burns-Williamson, West Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner, said: "We want to encourage as many young people as possible to get involved in this competition. We've worked really hard in the year since the last contest to make the process even easier for schools to enter so there are no barriers to not jump in and help make cyber space a safer place for everyone.
"Cyber crime can have a really detrimental effect on victims and tackling it is a clear focus for us and our partners. Young people are crucial in helping us to tackle these issues, not only will they raise awareness in in their schools and among their peers, but they will also take it home and speak to their parents, guardians, friends and wider families.
"The very best of luck to all those who enter and I look forward to seeing the creative ideas and resources produced in a couple of months' time."
