ONLINE SAFETY

The apps and games that are available to our children are constantly evolving, so sometimes it’s difficult to make sense of which content is age-appropriate; which games are safe to play; and exactly what your child is being exposed to.  That is why we have added Help Guides for parents and carers from a variety of reputable online safety charities and companies, with information along the lines of: how to manage the settings, privacy modes, how to report concerns, and what to expect from the app or game.

National Online Safety have also produced “handy guides with suggested apps and games that children might enjoy using to learn and play”, which are also attached.
