E-Safety Guide Netflix

As you are no doubt aware Netflix is the most popular subscription-based streaming service in the UK, that allows users to watch TV shows and movies on any internet-enabled device, such as smart TVs, phones and tablets. The pandemic saw a huge surge in children consuming on-demand content as many families relaxed their screen-time rules for obvious reasons, including a great many children streaming on their own in bedrooms. Netflix’s diverse range of programming caters for all age groups – so it’s important for parents to recognise the potential risks of children using the service and the measures available to help your child enjoy a safe streaming experience. One simple way of doing this to set up individual profiles for each family member, enabling you to have complete control over which age-related content is accessible.

Please have a read of the attached guide, which contains valuable tips on a number of potential risks such as screen addiction, inappropriate content and hacking attempts.
