Tips and advice for keeping children safe on Pokémon Go

West Lothian Council have offered advice to schools regards the Pokémon Go App and have asked if we share this with parents.

I have detailed below information which has been issued by the police in terms of keeping children safe when using Pokemon Go!  You will see that the app could be used as a ‘beacon’ to allow others to see exactly where young people are.  This may be helpful in terms of educating parents about the potential dangers and speaking to the children.

I thought you might also be interested in guidance which the NSPCC has issued for the Pokemon Go App.
