You may have already seen in the media, that there have been a number of recent concerns in relation to children’s safety whilst online. We have been made aware of a very worrying trend where children are using media services (such as WhatsApp and YouTube) to search or send links related to an application called MOMO.

 

We would like to take this opportunity to make you aware of a link to some useful guidance for parents in relation to keeping children safe online when using social media, the internet etc.

In school we work with your children to support them in keeping themselves safe whilst online and we hope that by providing the attached information you will feel confident to talk to your children about their online activity and to support them in keeping safe.
