Keeping your children safe online
Please be advised we have had a notification from the safeguarding team at Worcestershire children’s first, that through the use of TikTok, children have inadvertently come across inappropriate content, including some violent images. Parents and Carers play a key role in keeping their children safe online, especially when using social media. All of these social media sites do have age restrictions beyond the age of primary school children, but we are aware that many of our children are accessing these sites, so feel this information is important for our parents/carers.
Here are some useful sites with supporting safer internet use. Please be vigilant when your children are online.
