Dear Colleague, 

Happy New Year and welcome back to a new term!

Our Parent Facebook Live Q&A is now ready for you to watch and share with parents and carers from your school, in case they missed it in December.

We were thrilled to be joined by leading experts from Common Sense Media and PopJam/SuperAwesome, sharing tips to keep to children safe online and on devices, and practical advice on:

• parental settings and age restrictions
• apps, games and the latest trends
• bullying, relationships, criminal and sexual exploitation
• how to start those tricky conversations

Some of the useful Common Sense Media links we looked at were:

• App, film and game reviews
• Parent guide to smart devices
• Social media guidance
• Videos at the bottom of this page to help parents tame their own screen time

Remember to also tell parents about the parentsafe.lgfl.net website where they can find many of the resources that we showcased, including our Digital Family Agreement, storytime ideas and getting help and support.

A reminder of our last newsletter, where we shared our NEW Posters to help Challenge Peer-on-Peer Abuse and tips to help staff challenge inappropriate behaviour, dismiss downplaying sexual harassment as banter create a whole-school culture where bullying is unacceptable.

Don't forget there's lots happening at LGfL for other areas of the school beyond safeguarding:

• Extended Payment Terms on our Bridge the Divide Chromebooks - below cost price
• Other free training from LGfL teams
• Find out all we do beyond broadband here or make the most of your subscription here
• Sign up for one of the other newsletters

Have a great term!

Mark and Mubina
