Online Safety Top Tip – Parents guide to Twitch

Twitch is a livestreaming service which tends to focus on gaming. Users can publicly broadcast their gameplay and commentary online for other users to watch. It’s a community-driven platform where viewers can support their favourite streamers’ channels through PayPal donations, “Bits” and more. Each streamer or group creates their own community for fans to interact with each other. Twitch has more than 15 million daily active users and includes non-gaming topics such as music, cooking and art. Anyone can create a channel to livestream or watch videos.

In the guide, you’ll find tips on a number of potential risks such as inappropriate content, private chat rooms and strangers.

Online Safety Top Tip – Check in with your friends

During Healthy Lifestyles Week all year groups learnt about how to keep their bodies and minds healthy. It is important that they take care of their minds when online too! Lots of things can damage the way they feel and think, and it’s more common than people realise – one in every five children, for example, struggles with their mental health. Sending memes, jokes and messages online is easy – but finding the right words to talk to a friend who’s having a hard time can be tricky.

Online Safety Top Tip – TikTok

TikTok is a social networking app that replaced the popular Musical.ly app when it went offline in 2017. Know as Douyin in China, it gives users the ability to watch and create short clips of up to 60 seconds.

Common Sense recommends the app for age 15+ mainly due to the privacy issues and mature content. TikTok requires that users be at least 13 years old to use the full TikTok experience.

We are aware that children in our school are using TikTok and have their own accounts. It is our responsibility to ensure that children using this app are aware of how to remain safe. We would recommend sharing this video with your children, if they are thinking of using TikTok.

E-Safety Top Tip – What Three Words app

What Three Words is an app which can give precise locations all over the world. Therefore it would be useful in an emergency, for example if a child was lost or needed medical attention. The child or lost person would be able to share their 3 words so that their location could be found.
If your child has their own phone, we recommend that you download this app so they are able to tell you their exact location.
More information about the app can be found here:

Online Safety Top Tip – Smishing

Does your child have a mobile phone?

Do you know what smishing is?

SMS phishing or ‘smishing’ is one of the most common forms of mobile-based cyber-attack. Smishing is when a scammer texts their target, pretending to be a reputable person or organisation. They aim to trick the victim into supplying sensitive data such as bank details and personal information, so they can then access the target’s bank account and remove money.

What should you do?

We advise that you explain to your children what they should do if they ever get a text message from someone they do not know. It is vital that they tell someone else and do not reply unless they have checked it is safe to do so. Encourage your child to talk about how they use their mobile phone on a regular basis.

There are also anti-virus software which now protects mobile phones. They detect phishing links in text messages and alert you about the risk. You should consider downloading anti-virus software to your child’s phone.
