Does your child play 'Fortnite'?

10th May 2018

Does your child play Fortnite?

As with many other schools, we have noticed an increase in our children talking about this game. While it is the responsibility of parents to monitor and control their children's online activity at home, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the fast-changing pace of online gaming. So ask yourself, do I really know what my child is doing online and do I know exactly who they are talking to?

Below is a Fact Guide for parents on 'Fortnite'. Understanding the content and potential dangers of this game is the first step in protecting your child from the risks of online activity. Having an open and honest conversation in light of the facts is also important.

We would encourage our parents to read the facts and have a conversation with their child!
