At Balshaw Lane Primary, we take online safety very seriously and are very keen to keep parents updated regarding evolving risks.

We contact parents if we have concerns that a child is accessing or receiving inappropriate content. This includes where children are accessing games and/or sites which are only recommended for an older age eg age 13 rating.

We will also contact parents if social media messaging is affecting relationships in school and/or inappropriate language is used.

Parents will be contacted if staff hear that children are uploading videos to YouTube.
