I keep getting this message when trying to access the site.

Anybody any ideas please?

Thanks, Pheno

Hi, how are you getting there and what is the web address?

Have you tried using a different web browser?

Depending on your browser and on the site, you might get a message, Not Secure, Your connect to this site is not secure

You don't need to worry about this.

I'm not getting the message. (I use Firefox - but have also just tried it on Chrome - got straight through on both).

Are you using a saved link? They may have changed their website.

Sorry only just seen these responses - I don't get notifications any more.

I can't seem to ignore the Not Safe message as it blocks access.

Yes I am using a saved link so will try from scratch.  Using Microsoft Edge as browser and up till now have not had any problems.

Thanks, Pheno

It is the GRO website having an out of date Security Certificate which is picked up by the Browser that you are using.

I had problems with it the other week with the Safety Certificate message using Chrome on a Mac, I could get into the site one day and not the next.

Just to say that this seems to have resolved itself.  Haven't had time to refresh the site so just tried with the same link as always and hey resto it opened normally - no indication of being unsafe.
