Alan Mackenzie Online Safety Weekly Update

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 – Fall Guys Parental Controls

Parent Online Advice

Fall Guys is a very popular game with children. It has a PEGI 3 rating and falls under the massive multiplayer battle royale genre of games, meaning there are things like chat, in-game spending, friends lists and more. It’s important that games like this are set up correctly in accordance with the age of the child playing. For example over 13’s have default access to party chat groups.

Internet Matters have a really good guide detailing all the parental features HERE and Wayne Denner has just published an article about a new voice reporting feature which is available within Fall Guys and also Rocket League, another really popular game with children. You can find Wayne’s article HERE.
