We are keen to support parents to ensure all young people are Cyber safe, especially with the growing use of a wide range of Apps and online forms of communication (WhatsApp/TikTok/Instagram/Snapchat etc).  As part of our continued commitment, we are delighted to promote our new ‘Safer Schools’ App.  This App is a reliable source of advice on all things Cyber.  It gives empowering, current and informative information on all current digital platforms/tools/apps in an accessible manner. We have a range of tailored user accesses (pupil, staff and parents/carers).  To access your parent platform please:

-Go to your app store or Google Play and search for ‘Safer School’

-In school field type ‘East Ayrshire Council’

-The code for primary parents is: 7440

We would recommend that you discuss with your child about which apps and social media platforms they currently use/access. This will help ensure they know how to stay safe online – using the app to start these types of conversations is great.
