Tik Tok

TIKTOK is a online app that is a global video community where users create, share and discover ‘funny and memorable moments’ via short video clips.

Please be aware that children need to be 13 yrs and over to use this app.

Some of the outfits and dance moves in videos can be overtly sexual and provocative. There have also been reports of some users sharing concerning content, such as videos that promote anorexia, porn, self-harm and violence. If your child’s profile is open, strangers can use the app to comment on your child’s videos

TikTok lets users lip-sync to their favourite songs and produce their own music videos. Some of the music choices contain swear words or sexual themes, So not only can children be exposed to potentially inappropriate content but they can broadcast themselves miming or singing these lyrics

Please remember - It's a parents responsibility to ensure your children are safe online - school can educate your children to be safe online but do not have responsibility for the apps they download and how they are used.
