Please talk to your children about internet safety. The messages in the video are the ones we teach the children in school. If you can back these up, as well as taking the steps to be secure and safe mentioned in the videos, we can ensure our children stay safe and responsible online. None of the videos are shocking – they are suitable to watch together. The last two are examples of the type of materials we use to teach the children safe and responsible use. Safer Settings If you share a phone or device with your child that you also use for social media, please take the time to check your settings are up to date and secure. You can find out how by following the link below. The site also gives information on apps and sites popular with children, such as Tik Tok / Among Us / What’s App, etc. Please note, this alone will not ensure your child never encounters inappropriate material online. Talking about their use of technology and monitoring it is so important. Safer Settings Info The website below is invaluable to parents! It will tell you all you need to know about new games, apps, movies, etc that your child may have or want. You can then decide if they are suitable. Commonsensemedia.org Reporting an issue on social media Reporting any issues on social media sites and common apps (such as Tik Tok & YouTube) This site has links and advice as to what to do if inappropriate content is found / seen on some common sites / apps.
