Netflix parental controls checklist

by

It can be a worry for some parents whether all the content is suitable for the family on video streaming services. A lot of these apps bring together a range of different shows that are suitable for different ages and can be quite easily accessed if the correct measures aren’t put in place.  This is why SWGfL and Netflix have created a brand new checklist that covers all the necessary points when it comes to parental controls.

What is covered?

The Netflix Checklist is broken down into five sections with a review page to check that everything has been covered and understood. Each section is then broken down into handy steps taking you through the necessary routes to manage your settings. Included is:

  • How to set up children’s accounts
  • How to add maturity ratings
  • How to block shows
  • How to lock profiles
  • How to turn autoplay on and off
  • How to access viewing history

Every Mind Matters campaign

by

Public Health England launches Every Mind Matters campaign

Most families have experienced upheaval in their daily lives during the pandemic. With children and young people now back at school or college, the new Public Health England (PHE) Better Health – Every Mind Matters campaign provides NHS-endorsed tips and advice to help children and young people’s mental wellbeing, and equip parents and carers with the knowledge to support them.

The new advice available on the Every Mind Matters website has been developed in partnership with leading children and young people’s mental health charities, including Young Minds, The Mix, Place2Be and The Anna Freud Centre. It is designed to help parents and carers spot the signs that children may be struggling with their mental health and support them, and also provides advice that can help maintain good mental wellbeing. The site also provides tools to help young people build resilience and equips them to look after their mental wellbeing.

First day back at school

by

It was lovely to see all the children back in school today. They are settling in well and adjusting to our new routines with smiles on their faces.

Thank you to all of our parents and carers for your support in helping make today a success. We really appreciate your patience and understanding as we adapt to our new normal.

We may not get everything right over the coming weeks and months but please rest assured that we are all doing our very best to ensure that we provide the education your children deserve while minimising the risk to our entire school community.

Take care and stay safe.

Mr Kirtley (Headteacher)
