Bikability cycle training. Book your child's place.

The internet is a great place for kids to learn, play, create and connect, but technology is advancing quickly and parents may find it challenging to keep up.

At O2, we want everyone to safely enjoy the web, and so we've created resources to help parents regularly discuss online safety with their children. This empowers families to confidently explore the digital world.

Check out our online safety resources at

Internet Safety for Kids | O2 Parents can explore the internet like children do and understand the dangers that exist online.

Just a reminder that tomorrow (6/6/24) is Year 6 leavers picture day so please make sure children come in correct uniform 📸📸📸

Important information for parents

Gacha life - YouTube

We have recently been made aware, by some year 6 pupils, of concerns regarding an online app/game called Gacha. Gacha is an anime game which is aimed at primary aged children. Whilst the app itself is innocent, e.g. dressing up characters etc. there have been reports of the content being used to create inappropriate YouTube videos including references to, e.g. s*x, su***de and bullying.

There are, sadly, people who post inappropriate content on YouTube designed to look innocent and appealing to children, often based on popular apps or TV programmes. While it is tempting to stop children from using certain apps or YouTube altogether, this is not always the best solution. Our advice remains as follows:

Follow the age restrictions for websites and apps. These offer a good guide as to whether an app or service is appropriate for your child.
Check and turn on privacy settings in apps and websites, and set up parental controls on your broadband service.
Don’t participate in any anonymous chat – turn off the chat option if possible.
Block and report any inappropriate contact.
Keep family computers in a communal area so that you can talk about and share what children are doing online

Most importantly, keep the conversation open with your children. Talk to them about what they are doing online, celebrate the exciting stuff (there is lots of exciting stuff out there) and remind them of the importance of keeping private information to themselves and not taking risks.
