E-Safety reminders for Parents and their Pupils when using Purple Mash:
Parents please ensure that:
- Pupils access Purple Mash in a shared space (not their bedroom).
- Pupils respond using formal standard English (not ‘text message’ language please).
- Pupils must use Purple Mash during school hours only.
- When Pupils use 2Email or the 2Blog functions in Purple Mash, they should only speak about school work or any issues they are having with Home Learning.
- If Parents have any concerns regarding Purple Mash to e-mail the Office who will contact your child’s Class Teacher. A report to teacher button is available at the bottom of any email received. Children can select this to alert their teacher to the email if they are unhappy with the content.
- If pupils do post anything in Purple Mash which is inappropriate, they will be stopped from using the 2Email or 2Blog functions and the class teacher will speak to the parent via a phone call to discuss this.
Parents can protect their children online at home by following some e-safety tips:
- Keep computers in a central place. This will make it easier to keep an eye on children’s activities.
- Teach children about internet safety as it’s impossible to monitor their online activity all the time. Explain why it’s important not to arrange in-person meetings with people they meet online, and why they shouldn’t share personal information with online strangers because people may not be who they claim to be.
- Use Google’s SafeSearch to keep adult content out of your child’s search results – if you’re worried about children removing the SafeSearch setting without your knowledge you can protect it with a password.
- As entertaining as interactive gaming is, be aware that children can speak, using their own voice, with strangers online. Take advantage of any Parental Control settings built in to the game or the console or PC and monitor your child’s online use as far as you can.
- Be aware of cyber bullies and explain to your child that it is important that they don’t respond or retaliate to a cyber bully. If they are cyber-bullied, make sure they tell you about it.
- If your child is being harassed by a classmate or another player online, follow the game’s reporting procedures to make them aware of what’s going on.
Always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and help your education – but it can also cause harm – to you and to others.
Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online.
Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.

Tips for staying safe online:
· Make sure you keep new online friends strictly online. If someone you don't know asks to be your online friend you must ensure an adult knows about it.
· Know how to use the CEOP Button and how to report it to the CEOP Centre if you are concerned about someone’s online behaviour towards you.
