Our new online platforms have been on display this week at our parents' evenings, including the Q-files online encylopedia, giving children a chance to independently research new things without the distractions of adverts, poorly written websites, false information or age-inappropriate content. It's curated content, all properly researched and verified by academic experts, with plenty of photos and videos. Using such a resource, rather than just asking AI for an answer, helps to encourage deeper thinking, allows safe independent research and opens eyes to new worlds.

Cambridgeshire Police shared this story on their socials yesterday. Online safety begins as soon as children have access to devices. We hope as many parents as possible will consider coming to tonight's e-safety meeting at 6.30pm to find out what we teach and get some practical advice and support on how you can help to keep your family safe. Our online safety lead and CEOP Education Ambassador, Stuart Wilkinson, has seen dramatic changes in the way our pupils interact with technology in the last decade and the ever changing dangers simply cannot be ignored.

Last week we received a call from a very worried 15-year-old boy…

After chatting to someone he didn’t know on Instagram, he innocently shared some photos of himself. The person took these photos and superimposed explicit imagery onto them before threatening to release them to the boy’s followers. The person behind the unknown profile told the boy he would ruin his life if he did not pay £100.

The boy was too scared to tell his parents what had happened for fear they might be angry.

After listening to advice from our calm and supportive call handler, he eventually allowed them to speak with his mum so they could explain what had happened.

She was very supportive, and the call handler was able to advise the boy to close his accounts and not to converse any further with the person behind the account or hand over any money.

A crime was raised for sextortion and the boy was able to be supported by his parents.

With the popularity of social media showing no signs of slowing, sadly these kinds of crimes are becoming ever more common.

Do you know a youngster at risk of falling victim to these scams? Talk to them about the importance of talking to someone and reporting issues to police so we can record a crime and give advice.

Digital parenting can be tricky and it can sometimes feel like your child always wants to be on a screen. We're inviting parents and children to explore it together next week.
