Safeguarding Message (Viral Rumour)21 April 2021 (by swans) |
Rumour on social media.
From Safer Schools: 'This week Newsweek reported that TikTok users were warning each other that a group of men had designated the 24th of April as a national day of carrying out rape and sexual assault. Our online experts have had an in-depth look at these rumours and found no contemporary evidence to support them. However, a significant number of videos, warnings and commentary has been posted in response to the rumours. It's important for you and your parents and carers to have an understanding of the following issues to help protect your children and young people.' You can read more about this on the Safer School's website: (If we have any children at school who tell us that they've been upset by seeing this on social media, we will of course reassure them and telephone parents to say that their child has been concerned.)
