Parent Alert: Social Media Concerms

11th Feb 2019

We encourage all parents to be vigilant in terms of monitoring their child’s use (if at all) of any form of social media.

Quite often parents approach school with concerns regarding bullying and inappropriate use of social media which is upsetting and potentially damaging to other children. This occurs outside of school. We cannot stress enough the need for parental supervision in this area. Guidance on the use of social media in terms of age restrictions is listed below, for your information. We thank you for your support in this particular area of challenge in the modern world, for both parents and children. The internet is a great modern day resource but social media must be handled with care to promote effective health and well being especially for children and young people.
