Welcome back to our weekly #WakeUpWednesday Online Safety post where each week you will find a guide on a topical Online Safety issue.

This week’s guide looks at what parents and carers need to know about music streaming apps and sites.

Music streaming apps allow people to listen to music on their devices. It gives users access to millions of songs and artists from around the world. Popular music streaming apps and sites include Spotify, Soundcloud, Apple Music, Amazon Prime and Deezer. Music streaming allows children to listen to songs from around the world in a much easier and cheaper way. This enables them to showcase their talent which would have been very hard to do many years back.

In the guide, you’ll find tips on a number of potential risks such as explicit content, adult-themed podcasts and chatting to strangers.

If you have any questions or concerns about Online Safety, please contact the school office.
