Child Protection Policy
Not sure on which apps, games and websites are suitable for your child?
The NSPCC has created a website where helpful information is provided:
https://www.nspcc.org.uk/preventing-abuse/keeping-children-safe/share-aware/
Parents can find out more about the most popular apps and games – including information about age limits and safety settings.
Additionally, parents can always call the online safety helpline on 0808 8005002 to get advice on anything from the latest social networks to parental controls.
Please also consider that sites such as facebook, twitter and youtube contain material that has been uploaded by anyone around the world and the providers of these sites are unable to vet, track and monitor all uploads/contributions.
