When using an ipad or iphone online adverts continually pop up to encourage us to view and download other games and apps. As adults we can decide and know how to delete or block apps or ads that are inappropriate.
When your child is playing on certain games or is on social media, they too may also see pop up adverts. The content in these adverts may not always be appropriate to them, particularly if clicked on. It is important to talk to your child about adverts and to think about what they are clicking on before they do and if they are unsure to either ignore them or to check with a trusted adult.

Online safety will be a focus of our PDMU teaching during the week beginning Monday 9 May. Primary 6 and 7 will attend a CyberPal Workshop about Cyber Bullying on Tuesday 10 May. Parents are also invited to a parent workshop at 7pm on Tuesday 10 May.
