Current Online Safety Advice

WakeUpWednesday - Updated WhatsApp advice

As one of the most popular online platforms for communication amongst young people, it is worth keeping up-to-date with any updates or changes WhatsApp have made. The latest guide below gives advice for parents and carers.

WakeupWednesday: Live-streaming

Live streaming, as it’s known, has become immensely popular – with some streamers drawing tens of millions of followers. Among those viewers, however, lurk individuals who may pose a threat. Read this #WakeUpWednesday to find out how you can help to protect young live streamers.

#WakeupWednesday: Managing devices and anxiety

According to recent figures, a third of 5 to 7-year-olds in the UK have at least one social media profile; 69% of 8 to 11-year-olds play games online; and a whopping 97% of 12 to 15-year-olds use messaging apps or sites. Whichever way one slices it, digital devices are an increasingly integral part of how today’s young people live their lives.

There are many positive aspects to this, of course, but what’s also true is that the lure of their screens and the frequently brutal law of the online jungle can create a huge amount of additional stress for youngsters. This week’s #WakeUpWednesday guide has some practical advice on how parents and carers can help their child to manage the pressures of living online.

Safer Internet Day 2023

 

The children will be taking part in activities starting Tuesday 7th February. The theme for this year is 'Want to Talk About it?' 

This year we are hoping to answer the following questions:

  1. What issues really matter to children and young people?
  2. What changes do they want to see?
  3. How can we all work together to advocate for them moving forward

 

Advice and more information about how parents and carers can get involved can be found by clicking the link below:
