October's Online Safety Newsletter - AI Companions
1st October 2026
This month's Online Safety Newsletter focuses on AI companions and social networking apps, two areas of the online world that are becoming increasingly popular with children and young people. As technology continues to evolve, it is important that parents and carers stay informed about both the opportunities and potential risks these platforms can present.
While it is essential to be aware of online safety concerns, it is equally important to remember that the internet can be a fantastic place for learning, creativity, communication and family fun.
We encourage parents and carers to take time to explore this month's newsletter, which provides guidance, practical tips and useful information to help families navigate the online world with confidence. By working together, we can help children develop the skills and knowledge they need to enjoy all the benefits technology has to offer while staying safe online.
The attached video provides a quick overview on how to help children build healthier tech habits.
