Battram, Primary Assistant Principal, Learning and Welfare; Designated Safeguarding Lead

This may not be something you want to consider, but there is a good chance that your child will, at some point, come across pornographic content. If you want to protect your child from potentially harmful content, and still keep the door open for healthy communication, commonsensemedia.org is an excellent resource, with many helpful articles.

What to Do If Your Young Child Sees Pornography gives guidance on how to open up a conversation about pornography with younger children. If you are the parent of a pre-teen or older, this article for parents of teenagers is very helpful. You can also find helpful advice on setting up filters on the tech your children use to block explicit content

Even with the best parenting, and the best filters, your child may still stumble across or be shown content that we would rather they had not seen. Thinking ahead about how to have an age-appropriate conversation with your child about pornography is an important part of keeping them safe.
