Understanding Apps

The Apps that your children are using have many support features; these allow you, as a parent, to fully understand what your child is being exposed to and what you can do to support them.

These Apps are also the opportunity for others to make contact with your children. They are used to manipulate and take advantage of young people. It is our responsibility to ensure that our children are aware of the risks and have taken all the precautions possible to ensure they are safe.

We would not let our children go swimming without first teaching them to swim, or watching them from the side of the pool. We must prepare our children to take risks in life, to understand those risks and be able to mitigate those risks.
