As mentioned in past digital safety articles in our newsletters, our school does not promote or encourage our students using social media. However, we know that a number of them are users. Actively managing your tamariki’s privacy settings on the social networks they use can go a long way towards keeping control of their personal information.

Any information that is easily available online, whether it’s an email address, date of birth, or pictures, could end up causing harm if it gets into the wrong hands.

To help you navigate privacy on social media, Netsafe have put together a guide on How to Use Privacy Settings on Social Networks.
