Safe-Guarding and E-safety

Dear Parent/Guardian,

During these times of social isolation we are all using free video chat Apps such as “Zoom” and “Houseparty”, to stay in touch with friends and family. But, did you know you can be “Zoombombed” or that complete strangers can make contact through Houseparty?

As many children are using these Apps, we ask Parents/Guardians to please read the information from the NSPCC at the links below. There you will find easy to follow steps to take to change the privacy settings within the Apps’.

We want everyone to stay safe, not only from the Covid 19 virus, but also whilst online!
