During lockdown many children and young people have been using a variety of popular streaming apps as a way of having fun, keeping in touch with friends and family and to meet new people. The most popular of these apps being TikTok. The following information is from our colleagues at Darlington Borough Council.
We have had a number of parents and staff from around Darlington contact us with concerns around children using TikTok and similar apps and as an issue and concern it’s one that’s not going to go away anytime soon.
Thinkuknow have added some useful resources on the subject of streaming and a useful parent guide on TikTok that helps parents get a better understanding of how it works, what it does as well as the possible risks and dangers of using streaming apps.
As well as the above links we also have some useful information already on these topics as well as other internet safety issues and guides on our own website www.darlington.gov.uk/dispwww.darlington.gov.uk/disp
