Safeguarding - Navigating the Need for Parental Controls

In the digital age, children have easy access to technology, and it's essential for parents to ensure their online experiences are safe.

Parents may find it challenging to monitor their child's tech use, especially if the child is more tech-savvy. Using parental control tools can be an effective way to protect and support children's online activities and reduce parental stress.

World Mental Health Day - 9 October 2026

Hello Yellow is an annual campaign run by YoungMinds, the UK’s leading charity fighting for a world where no young person feels alone with their mental health.

We will be taking part in the ‘Hello Yellow’ initiative for World Mental Health Day 2026 to raise awareness for YoungMinds. On Friday 9 October, we are wearing yellow in collaboration with YoungMinds celebrating 10 years of standing out, starting conversations and raising funds – so no young person feels alone with their mental health.

By taking part in ‘Hello Yellow’ we are joining thousands of other schools, communities and organisations in highlighting the importance of our mental health and wellbeing.

Many young people are struggling with their mental health right now and that’s why days like Hello Yellow matter. By teaching young people to explore their feelings, how to talk about them and who to reach out to for help, we’re giving them the tools they need.

We want to share the resources that YoungMinds offer to support parents and carers if you ever need help and advice.

This includes: • Online resources (www.youngminds.org.uk/parent)

• A phoneline service for parents and carers to speak to trained professionals if you’re concerned about your children’s mental health: 0808 802 5544 (Open 9.30am-4pm) • As well as an online chat and email service (www.youngminds.org.uk/parentshelpline)

Thank you

Safeguarding - Blocking Inappropriate Content with Qustodio

The internet can expose children to inappropriate content. Social media algorithms and search engines can increase this risk.

Parents can mitigate this risk by using in-app privacy settings, teaching safe browsing habits, and enabling safe search options.

For further protection, parents can use Qustodio to filter content, block websites and apps, and supervise their child's online activity.
