Recently, a new Netflix series has been released called ‘Squid Game’. It has become apparent that some children have been or are watching the series. The series has a PEGI rating of 15 and the content means that no children should be watching it. Could we please encourage you to access the link below which will help you understand the reasons surrounding this.
The NSPCC have introduced a new Report Remove tool whereby children, young people and adults can report nude images of them that are circulating social media and ensure they are taken down.
The Department for Education has commissioned the NSPCC to establish a dedicated independent helpline for people who have experienced sexual abuse in educational setting.
The helpline went live on 1 April, and will provide both children and adults who have experienced sexual abuse in schools with support and advice, including onward action such as contacting the police if they wish to. The helpline will also provide support to parents and professionals. Anyone who gets in touch through this dedicated helpline will also be signposted to other relevant support services available, including Childline, which provides ongoing support and counselling to children and young people.

We have received the information contained here, from Leeds Prevent, to assist you in keeping your children safe online. We feel that with the current lockdown situation the links and information is important to share as we understand a lot of our children spend time online, more so with the restrictions we have in place.
Whilst online exploitation is rare, if we ensure that our children are given the correct information and resources to speak out we can keep them safe from any harm online.

You have the right to live your life free from fear, violence and abuse. You may feel humiliated, frightened, ashamed or alone – but YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME. Domestic Violence is very common – it can happen to anyone, regardless of age, class, disability, race, sexuality or lifestyle.
Domestic violence can involve physical, emotional and financial abuse, usually by a man towards a woman. You and your children may be abused by a partner, ex-partner or family member. Abuse is rarely a one-off event – it tends to get worse over time, but there is help available.
If you would like advice, information, somewhere safe to stay, or simply want someone to listen, you can ring the National Domestic Violence Helpline or speak to the Mentors if you prefer.
