New Digital Safety Guides for Parents
To support families in helping young people navigate the online world safely and confidently, we’ve added a new set of downloadable guides from The National College. These resources focus on some of the most widely used platforms among young people today and offer clear, practical advice for parents and carers.
Social Media Safety Guides
These PDFs provide guidance on helping young people use popular apps appropriately and responsibly, while also outlining the potential risks of unsupervised use. They include:
- TikTok – understanding features, privacy settings, and how to manage screen time
- Instagram – supporting safe sharing, managing followers, and recognising harmful content
- Snapchat – navigating Snap Maps, streaks, and privacy controls
Each guide highlights the key things parents should be aware of, along with steps you can take to help your child stay safe.
Generative AI Safety
With AI tools becoming more accessible, this guide explains what generative AI is, how young people may be using it, and what parents can do to encourage safe, responsible use.
Horror Film Age Ratings
This resource helps parents understand age classifications, why they matter, and how to make informed decisions about what is appropriate for their child to watch.
Why These Guides Matter
Young people are growing up in a digital world that offers incredible opportunities — but also challenges. These resources are designed to help parents feel informed, confident, and equipped to support their child’s online experiences.

If you have any worries about your child’s online activity or would like further information, please get in touch with the school. We’re here to help and can offer additional guidance or signpost you to further support.
