Advice for Parents/Carers

The YouTube Kids app was introduced in the UK in January 2016 and was designed to allow younger children to use YouTube in a more managed (moderated) way whilst giving parents extra controls. YouTube have introduced a new service called Parent Allowlisting which can be used on mobile devices where a parent can approve a video/channel from the main YouTube app into their child's YouTube Kids account.

Curriculum Information 

We use a range of resources in school to support our online safety teaching. Our teaching is part of our planned curriculum. We adapt our teaching as appropriate in response to any issues raised within the classroom or at home.

SID shares four top tips:

• People you don't know are strangers. They are not always who they say they are.
• Be nice to people on the computer as you would in the playground.
• Keep your personal information private.
• If you ever get that 'uh oh' feeling you should tell and adult you trust.
