Social Media Safety
Good morning parents and carers, the children will tell you that my main job is to keep all of the children safe. That is in school and whilst online. We are having an increasing number of children, particularly in the upper KS2 classes who aren't being safe online at home as they are being exposed to social media apps, namely tik tok and snapchat. Over the past couple of weeks we have had several issues being brought into school from inappropriate content posted on these apps. We have spoken to the children about the dangers of these apps but would also like to remind parents too as tik tok and snapchat are particularly difficult to monitor due to the disappearing messages. These apps have an age rating of 13 and aren't meant for primary aged children. Please see the attached safety guides and the following websites detailing the risks of the apps and information on how to keep your child safe online. https://cpdonline.co.uk/knowledge-base/safeguarding/snapchat-guide-for-parents/ https://www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/online-safety/online-safety-blog/is-snapchat-safe-for-my-child/
