Keeping your children safe when using the internet, social media and playing online games
During the summer holidays, without the distraction of school, internet usage for many young people can increase all the way up to September. This guide is designed to help you with a realistic approach to help keep your children safe when using the internet, social media and playing online games.
Safeguarding Update:
It has been brought to the schools attention by the police that there is potentially a new E-Safety threat to students. There is a new computer game called Cunch-Line Chronicles.
The game is centred around County Lines, giving out information about drug running and creating trap houses, it teaches how to set these up and recruit. There is also an online chat facility in the game. There are vulnerability issues here for recruitment, so please be vigilant and report any concerns to the school.
