• IMPORTANT Safeguarding Message from Council

  Fri 10 Oct 2025

  We have today be notified that there is a safeguarding issue linked to books in the children’s book series ‘Spy Dogs / Pups’ and ‘Spy Cat’ books written by Andrew Cope.  These books contain a link to a website, which has been compromised and now takes users to highly pornographic contact with no age verification.

   

  The website is identified on the back of the book or on the inside page as – www.spydog451.co.uk

  Following advice from LADO / Education Safeguarding colleagues / EDIT Team, could we ask that you remove these books from school libraries and classrooms, public libraries and Nurseries as a precaution.

   

  We are also advising that schools / Nurseries asks parents to check at home for copies of this book and remove them from being accessed by children, until we are sure that this issue has been resolved.
