Following on from our focus on Child Safety in Term 3, we have come across an excellent resource for supporting parents with understanding their child's online presence and technology use. The National Online Safety site comes out of the UK and each Wednesday publishes a guide to focus on specific apps, games, website or behaviours that support parents in being aware of what their children may be exposed to. 

For the remainder of the term, we will be publishing one of the guides that relate to the children in our community and their current presence online. To see the full list of guides head to https://nationalonlinesafety.com/resources/wake-up-wednesday/ 

The teachers have noticed that many of the students are talking about TikTok a video app where children are filming themselves dancing and singing to songs. The eSafety Commissioners Office recently spoke at a conference and confirmed that TikTok is a particularly unregulated app that is difficult to have content removed should it be misused. If your children are using TikTok we would urge you to read the guide from National Online Safety.
