Please can we ask you to have a really good look at the attached poster about the Tik Tok App. This is a very popular app which is lots of fun for young people.
We know that it is used widely by children in our school, so we want to make sure parents know what it’s about and how to keep children safe. Some of our children do not have private or restricted profiles, and this leaves them vulnerable to predators.
The poster explains all the pros and cons, but a quick summary is below:
Concerns with the app:
Rate 12+, Online Predators, explicit song lyrics, in-app purchases, addictive, abusive comments on videos.
Things you can do:
Enable restricted mode, make sure your child knows how to report inappropriate comments or content, set privacy, restrict screen time.
