Reaching high for the best for your child

We have been talking about how to use social media safely. Social media is anything where we communicate with other people using technology, whether it is a text message, email, or other social media platforms like Instagram (13 yrs) and Whatsapp (16 yrs) that you have to be older to use.

We have agreed that it is important to:

KEEP IT LIGHT: Zero dramas! Social media isn't the place for airing intensely personal information. Talk to someone on your Helping Hand, face to face, instead...

KEEP IT BRIGHT: Be smart, think before you click - what you post can never be deleted. Think about the consequences tomorrow, next week, and in ten years' time!

KEEP IT POLITE: Would you say that to somebody face to face? Would you be OK with your mum/dad seeing it? What about your headteacher? Or the police?

Please can you reinforce and model these messages with our children at home.
