Primary Aged children and Social Media You may have read recent news coverage in the media which explored the effect social media use is having on children’s happiness, mentand self-esteem. Whilst most of the most popular social media sites stipulate that a child must be 13 or over to use them, it is clear that some children have access to these sites and are using them freely before this age. The CEOP/Thiwebsite contains very good advice aimed at children and teens that helps them to keep safe online and particularly when using social media. The following advice is given to children using any form of social media site:
Know who your friends are.
It’s really tempting to accept as many friend
requests or follows as possible. It can make us
feel popular. But remember, they could be anyone.
Do you really want them seeing your pictures,
videos or comments?
Share with care.
Once you’ve put something online you’ve lost
control of it – it can be copied, shared or edited. It
could turn up anywhere. You might be happy
showing a funny picture to your friends but would
you want your parents or teachers to see it?
Use privacy settings.
Most social networks let you limit what you share
to friends or followers you’ve OKed. It’s always a
good idea to only let people you know and trust
see your stuff. Learn how to use privacy settings
and how to block people who are bothering you.

Know how to report.
Most social networks let you report to them if you
have a problem on their site. So if someone’s
shared an embarrassing picture or is being nasty
to you, you need to know how to get help. Learn
how to report on any site or app you use by visiting
