At Whitehirst Park Primary we are keen to support parents/carers 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 a recognised Digital School we promote and recognise the need to support our pupils safety in the digital world.
As part of our continued commitment, we would like to remind parents/carers about the ‘Safer Schools’ App. This App is a reliable source of advice on all things concerning digital/internet safety. It give empowering, up-to-date information on all current digital platforms/tools/apps in an accessible manner.
The APP has a range of tailored user accesses (pupil, staff and parents/carers). To access your parent platform please:
- Go to the APP store or Google Play and search ‘Safer School’
- In the school field type ‘Whitehirst Park Primary’
- The code for primary parents/carers 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.
