Online Safety & Instagram

Remember to use the Netsafe guidelines for parents that we sent out a few weeks ago. This has really valuable tools for working with your child. This digital world can be a really harmful space that adults do need to make sure they monitor. It is important to always be KIND no matter the interface. This is something as humans we all wish for ourselves and important to always model and this allows us to grow as good humans. 

Attached this week is a helpful document around Instagram, with great advice for parents around keeping your child safe on this platform. It highlights key things for parents around the age limit of the platform, privacy controls and settings, reporting/blocking and family pairing. Keep an eye out in further newsletters for more of these in relation to various apps and programs. Next week will have key information around advice and guidelines for more help.
