Back-to-School Child Safety
Back-to-school season can be an exciting time! It is also a perfect time to consider the best ways to protect your child's personal information, have conversations with youth about safety, and consider training for your team or group on preventing and responding to child abuse concerns.
Protect Your Child's Personal Information
When taking photos to celebrate the first day of school, remember to capture the memories WITHOUT sharing your child's personal information online!
Avoid sharing a child's:
- Full name
- Grade
- Age
- Teacher
- School
- Favorites
These details could be used to identify your child or enable others to form "friendships" with them - a red flag of grooming a child for abuse - whether online or in-person.
