YouTube: Spiderman, Elsa and other non child friendly videos, should I be worried?
This week brings back Alan Mackenzie for a frank discussion about the YouTube videos that are unsuitable for children. This video has been on hold as the media storm has created a pandemic of both accurate and inaccurate news. We dissect this in this podcast
We discuss parenting, e-safety and the impact of these videos on children and their wellbeing (emotional, psychological and mental health) We look at options about monitoring and we also discuss whether the child friendly version of YouTube is any better in terms of safety for the child.

This advice and guidance needs to be extended to staff and, importantly, to parents too.
