Social Media

“SOCIAL MEDIA”
 
Do you know what your child is looking at on their phone?
Are you concerned about the risks associated with social media and young people? There has been a lot in the media recently about the way young people access social media and the safety around it.
 
We thought it would be good to give you some links and information, to help you support your child/ren.
Just a reminder, the age ratings for the most popular social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, Wink) are all 13+.
 
This site includes setting up family link on Android and some bits around snapchat / roblox / youtube etc
 
CEOPS is a national organisation dealing with child protection.
 
Our very own SWGFL also has a decent set of parent pages with checklists for various platforms including Insta / Twitter / Facebook / Snapchat
 
The NSPCC has a useful section on keeping children safe online.”
