Dear Parents,
I have been asked by NPT Safeguarding Officer Anneliese Donovan to remind parents to ensure that children are using Age Appropriate Apps at home. Apps are given an age for good reason.
The content is not suitable for younger children.
The most recent message from Anneliese regards Tik Tok App specifically:
Good Morning,
The following information has been shared with the LA, in regards to a new Tik Toc craze;
Police have highlighted an emerging Tik Tok craze whereby a child runs full tilt towards another child from behind and (unbeknown to victim) slides just before contact wiping them out and up into the air.
There has been a recent incident in Cardiff (13-year-old boy on 13-year-old boy) has resulted in the victim suffering a bleed on the brain and a broken shoulder.
