Staying Safe Online

Social Media Guidance 

• Young people must be over 13 years of age to have an account on Twitter, Instagram & Facebook
• Anyone under the age of 13 should not have a social media account on any of the platforms that the PE & School Sport Team use.
• Young people must ensure they have consent from their parent or guardian, who should in turn use their own account(s) to share content.
  

As a general rule, never share any sensitive or personal information on social media platforms (e.g. full name, address or date of birth etc.)
