This section of our website provides useful information for students, parents and teachers about how to help children stay safe so please take some time to look at the resources available with your child.
The Children’s Commissioner has worked with The TES to produce a summary of the rules and terms and conditions for the following social media apps:
Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp and YouTube. The information can be accessed using the links.

Staying safe on the internet is extremely important and we encourage all students to think carefully about their online presence through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and the increasing range of social media applications. During your Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Personal, Social Health Education lessons at The Lakes School, you will be encouraged to think about how you interact with people on the internet and take action to safeguard your identity and privacy.
By clicking the CEOP logo above, you will find additional information that will help you think about your online presence and stay safe.
