🎄 Many children will receive mobile phones this Christmas – let’s keep them safe online! 📱

Good Afternoon, 

Many children will receive a mobile phone this Christmas.

We know that getting a first phone is exciting, but it also comes with responsibilities. Please take a few minutes to check:

✅ Privacy Settings – Make sure social media accounts are set to private so only trusted friends can see posts.
✅ Location Sharing – Turn off location services on apps to protect your child’s whereabouts.
✅ Strong Passwords – Use unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication where possible.
✅ Open Conversations – Talk to your child about what’s safe to share online and who they should interact with.

Keeping these steps in mind helps protect children from online risks and ensures they enjoy their new devices safely.

Stay safe and have a wonderful festive season! 

Kind Regards

Claire
