Glenann PS encourages all families to be using the Safer Schools NI App. With 92% of children in Northern Ireland using video sharing platforms, 53% engaging on social media and 65% accessing messaging apps, the Safer Schools NI App plays an important role in keeping everyone informed, supported and safer online.

The app offers clear, practical guidance in its ‘Need to Know’ section, showing you how to make your home and devices safer. It also keeps you informed about the latest online trends, potential risks and emerging threats that may affect your child, with updates sent straight to your device.

You will receive timely information about popular social media and gaming platforms, along with explanations of new buzzwords and step by step support for setting privacy and parental controls on apps such as Minecraft and TikTok.

In addition, the app provides expert advice on key topics like bullying, mental health and healthy relationships, giving you helpful tips on how to start and manage these important conversations with your children. It also serves as a convenient hub for accessing school news, updated policies and the school calendar — all in one place on your app.
