  Thank you all for your kind donations during our Harvest celebrations.

  The children were able to think about being thankful to God for all they have and for the farmers, fishermen, delivery drivers and shop workers who ensure we have enough to eat.

• Safeguarding Update- Squid Games

  Tue 12 Oct 2021

  Safeguarding Update

  Dear parents and carers,

   

  We are aware some children have been watching Squid Game via Netflix and TikTok.

  Squid Game is the new South Korean TV series, following the plight of several individuals who are in dire debt and desperate for a way out.

  The group are offered the chance to win a huge jackpot of money if they take part in a series of survival challenges based on children’s games. 

  However, don’t let the mention of children’s games fool you, as this show is anything but targeted at children.

  Squid Game is brutal and violent, with Netflix stating on the UK site that it has a rating of 15.

  On the website for the British Board of Film Classification, the organisation outlines that Squid Game contains ‘sexual violence references, injury detail, crude humour, sex, suicide, sexual images, violence’.

  The BBFC emphasises that this means that this ‘particular form of media is suitable only for persons aged 15 or over’.

   

  We recommend that you check if your child has viewed Squid Game and discuss how it is inappropriate for their age.

  To keep your child’s Tik Tok account safe please follow this advice:

  • From your child’s device, open the TikTok app.
  • Go to profile, then tap the three dots button to open settings.
  • Scroll down to Digital Wellbeing.
  • Select Restricted Mode.
  • Choose “Turn on Restricted Mode.”
  • Choose and confirm your passcode.
