Use of Snapchat Guidelines

Use of Snapchat Parent's Guidelines PDF icon

Dear Parents/ Carers,
 
There has been increased reports in the media and in the community on the use of snapchat by young people. Please read the link to ‘Advise on Snapchat for Parents/ Carers’ above. There are other leaflets on the use of social media too. With this in mind, here are some points to consider on the use of snapchat:
 
·     Flag underage user - If you are concerned about a person using Snapchat who is under 13, you can report the person by sending an email to support@snapchat.com.
 
·     Report abuse - If a child receives inappropriate photos or videos or someone’s harassing him or her, contact Snapchat via safety@snapchat.com or by going to Snapchat.com and clicking on Support.
 
·      
In the very unlikely event you encounter anything that appears to be illegal or dangerous, or if you have reason to believe someone is at risk of harm or self- harm please refer to the information found on https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/Get-help/Reporting-an-incident/ .
 
·     Delete the account. If Snapchat isn’t for you!
