You may be aware that there has been lots of coverage in the press about an unfortunate post on Tik Tok that has recently “gone viral” that may have been seen by some of our young people.
A number of sites including Tik Tok have had people reposting an inappropriate video, that can cause a lot of distress to a child if seen. As fast as Tik tok removes the post users are re uploading.
We wanted to give you some more information on what Tik Tok is, the risks and how these risks can be minimised for our students.
