Every week e-safety adviser Alan Mackenzie sends me weekly updates. They are useful teaching resources but also parent guides to keep you up to date with current trends.
Here are a few tips from this week’s updates:
For Parents – How to Report Online Harm
There are so many apps with different reporting functions, organisations, helplines and more it can be really frustrating for parents to get help. Internet Matters have a really useful page which details some of these organisations and what they can do, how to report specific issues, how to report on many of the social platforms and games and where to go for more help.
You can see all the details HERE.
For Parents – New Tools to Manage Roblox
At the beginning of April Roblox announced some new tools which will allow parents a greater degree of control over their child’s Roblox experience. These tools include:
Limiting who their child can connect with.
See which experiences (games) their child plays the most.
Limit experiences their child can access.
There’s a lot more, all summarised in an article from Roblox HERE.
