PROBLEMS encountered online are 'part and parcel' of every issue dealt with by The Hub, its team leader has said.

The information, advice and support service for 11- to 16-year-olds is dealing with an increasing wave of cyber issues.

Charlie Cox, pictured, who also sits on the e-safety committee, said that the service has seen an increase over the last year in the number of people approaching them for help regarding problems they faced online.

'It is part and parcel of issues we deal with, it is all somehow related to Facebook or other social media.'

Modern technology means agencies are having to play catch up, she said, but education was the best way to try and combat the increasingly serious issues they were dealing with.
