If your child does use one of these sites/apps, please ensure you are aware of what they are saying and doing on them, so that they are not putting themselves in any danger.

There are some sites, such as Roblox that are designed for children to use but do require an adult over the age of 18, to accept the terms and conditions. If your child has an account for a website or application, please double-check the terms and conditions before they create the account.

Thank you.
