We urge all parents to speak to their children, nieces, nephews etc. and other children about what to do if they are frightened by something they see online.  If you have a safeguarding concern please speak to the Headteacher or phone Cumbria safeguarding hub on 0300 373 2724.

Please encourage children to :-

• Talk to a parent/carer/trusted adult if they see anything or hear anything that is scaring them.
• If they are told ‘not to tell their parents’ then that is a green light to go straight to an adult.
• Not to download or accept any unknown contacts on social media or particularly WhatsApp.
  • Follow the link for Vodafone's digital parenting website, which offers resources and support for families to get the most out of tech and enjoy happy digital lives.
  • Follow the link to the NSPCC's 'setting parental controls' page to help keep your child safe online.
