ONLINE SAFETY
Did you know?
- Games consoles are not covered by parental filters on home broadband.
- If your child uses 3G, 4G, 5G to access the internet they are not subject to WiFi parental controls.
- This means they are able to access inappropriate or upsetting content, can download and buy unsuitable apps and games.
The NSPCC have relaunched the website Net Aware. This is an excellent site to learn more about the latest apps, sites and games which your child might be using. It also has guidance on age appropriate sites, technical and safeguarding tips.

Online Safety Post: Squid Game
ONLINE SAFETY POST - NETFLIX TV SERIES 'SQUID GAME'
You may well be aware of a Netflix TV series called 'Squid Game'.
Released in mid-September, it is now the most popular series on Netflix. However, it has a certificate rating of 15 years old due to its extreme violence, and so it is not suitable for primary aged children.
Children may not have watched it themselves but they may well come across it on the internet in one way or another. Please make sure that you continue to monitor what your children are watching on TV as well as what they are viewing online as well. This is always good practice and helps keep your children safe whilst online.
Please make sure that you set your profiles on Netflix to age-restrict content.
