Last week, we contacted families about a distressing video that was circulating on Social Media, mainly TikTok, YouTube and Facebook. As far as we know, these platforms are working to take down the clip and ban any users posting it.

While your child/ren may not have been exposed to this particular video, we remind you to be aware of the content your child/ren may be accessing or exposed to online.

We encourage you to have a discussion with your child/ren regarding safety steps they need to take should they encounter inappropriate material.

Below are some resources that you may find helpful to assist you with cyber safety and discussion with your child/ren.

• An article from Insights “Parenting in The Digital Age”
