Online Safety
Update - Autumn Term 2021
Squid Game
We have become aware that some pupils are referring to the Netflix show 'Squid Game'. This show has an age rating of 15+ due to its brutality and violence, and there are concerns that children will think the show is appropriate to watch due to references made within Roblox.
Within Roblox, there is a 'Red Light, Green Light' game which has become popular and which itself is harmless. After some investigation, this appears to be the source of discussion on the playground.
If you would like any further advice on setting parental control on Netflix, guidance is available on www.childnet.com
