In Maths, Korey is able to listen to the teaching, have a bit of guidance and then work through sheets independently which has amazed us. You should be really proud of how far you have come Korey.

• What Parents and Carers Need to Know about Wizz

  Wed 26 Apr 2023

  A free online safety guide on Wizz. 

   

  Recently rising in popularity among children and young people, Wizz is a social networking app that allows users to chat live with people from around the world. In similar fashion to a dating app, it facilitates conversations with people that users would not ordinary meet – but of course, making connections to individuals online bring its own self-evident potential safety issues.    

   

  While Wizz makes use of face recognition technology to assesses users’ age and group them by age group – but the software is far from perfect and is no guarantee that some individuals won’t attempt to exploit the app for sinister purposes.

   

  The #WakeUpWednesday guide examines Wizz in detail, identifying pitfalls that parents and carers should be aware of. 

   

  In the guide you'll find tips on a number of potential risks.
