Have you heard of the app Monkey? Does your child use this app?
We would like to make you aware of this app because we highly recommend that children at Newdale do not use it.
The age rating for Monkey is children aged 13years+. It contains some inappropriate material and there are concerns over the ability to chat to strangers via chat and video calls. The NSPCC website have rated this app as ‘very poor’ for safety.
Remember it is very important to have regular conversations with your child to find out what apps and websites they are using. You can also help your child to think about what information they share online and who can see it.
If you need more support or guidance with online safety please contact a staff member or send us an email newdale.primary@taw.org.uk
