    Discord

    We would like to make parents and carers aware of Discord, an online platform commonly used for gaming, messaging and streaming, which allows users to communicate through text, voice and video chats.

    Please take some time to read the information below to learn more about Discord, the potential risks and how you can help keep your child safe online. We encourage parents and carers to have regular conversations with their children about their online activities, who they are communicating with and the importance of never sharing personal information with strangers.
