Dear Parents/Carers,

This is to inform you of an app that has come to light this week. The app is called Sweet Snap and there is an upgrade called Sweet snap lite.

This is a dangerous app to download. If downloaded it has been reported to also download additional software to your phone siltently. There have been instances of student’s photos being uploaded from the phone silently too. There are multiple adults accessing the chat and trying to talk to the chilldren in a sexual manner.

This has been reported to the Police but please can all parents/carers check their child’s phone and remove this app if they have it.

Please can you speak to your child about online safety.

If you have any concerns regarding any apps or online safety, then please inform the Police and school.

There will be availability for parents to attend webinars from The ADHD Foundation.

Topics will include:

• ADHD and Treatment – AM
• Sleep and Wellbeing – PM
• Stress awareness and self-regulation – Evening

There will also be workshops on Emotional wellbeing and mental health with a focus on moving towards transition which will be held on Wednesday Evenings 7-8pm.

If you wish to attend please email school using the SEND e-mail address and your request will come directly to myself. I will then give you further details to access them.

This training is primarily for families who have accessed support from the ADHD Foundation through school; or for those families who have a child with a diagnosis of ADHD/ASC or have a child on Pathways.
