It can have a fantastic impact on children’s learning. In order to ensure children have a positive experience on the internet, it is important we take care to protect them from some of the dangers online. Many children want to use social media, therefore it is important that we ensure the children in our care use social media responsibly and safely. Please find below our guides to keeping children safe online: E-Safety A Guide for Parents and Carers - Bengali Translation of E-safety Guide - Keeping safe on YouTube Apps to look out for Apps similar to Tik Tok are growing in popularity. One of the most popular is Likee. Like Tik Tok, you do not need an account to view its videos and there can be adult language and videos of people who are dressed inappropriately. You do not need to verify your age to create an account but there are parental controls for adults who know their child is viewing it and wants to protect them. Users of Likee can purchase in-app currency with real money to gift to their favourite creators. This can be dangerous for children. Discord is a voice and text chat app originally designed to let people playing online games talk to each other. Now it is used as a chatroom for any group of people wanting to create a community, including some discord servers run by YouTubers and Twitch streamers that you can pay to access. As with much of social media, there is risk from strangers and from children being mean to each other.
