A new app for phones and tablets has been brought to my attention by WLC Child Protection officer. It’s called Selfie Cop.
Selfie Cop is an app that can be installed on the phones/tablets of children (targeted at 8-13 year olds) and their parents to help children learn to think more about images they share.
Every time the camera is activated on the phone/tablet, SelfieCop pops up and asks the child if they are sure about sharing this image – the image will also be available for the parent carer to view.
The app is installed with the child’s awareness and permission – it’s not about spying on their activity, it’s about trying to instil good habits around thinking twice before sharing images.
