Dear Parent,
We have been made aware of a couple of concerns from parents around children’s use of social media and specifically the ‘kik’ app during the lockdown period. We are also aware of some issues with the ‘omegle’ app in other schools in the local authority. Therefore we are sharing some guidance at the link below around the use of online chat rooms and social media.

If you have any concerns about your child please contact Mrs Fitzpatrick or your child’s crew leader in the first instance.
Please be advised the legal age for use of social media and chatrooms outlined in the action for children diagram below.
Thanks
