Squid Game (Netflix)

There has been a lot of media reports this week about Netflix’s Squid Game. This is currently the most watched show in 90 countries and nearly all episodes of the ’15’ rated show contain violent and gruesome scenes. The Safeguarding Partnership has received some important information around the potential risks posed to children and young people from this show and some top tips to keeping children and young people safe. In addition  the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command (CEOP) have produced some information for parents / carers that maybe useful to share or have uploaded onto your school websites.
