In today’s fast moving digital world it can be difficult for parents to keep up to date on the latest sites, apps and games. We therefore launched an interactive parents’ guide, Net Aware, which explains what other parents and young people think about 60 of the most popular social apps and games, what’s the right age, and details on privacy and safety settings. You can access Net Aware on line at **[www.net-aware.org.uk](http://www.net-aware.org.uk/)** #### Support for the campaign Since Share Aware was launched in January 2015, 400,000 parents have spoken to their children about online safety as a direct result of the campaign. After seeing the campaign, 42 per cent of parents either immediately talked to their child about online safety or made plans to do so. The campaign has been supported by a range of organisations, including police, local authorities, and schools. Many schools have shown the campaign animations on **[You Tube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sch_WMjd6go&noredirect=1)** and a number of partnership campaigns have been launched across the country. #### Developments with the Share Aware campaign To help parents stay on top of what’s new in the digital world we have updated our free **[Net Aware guide for parents](http://www.net-aware.org.uk/)** by adding 12 new sites, apps and games. The next wave of the campaign is about making sure parents cover the right topics when they talk to their children about staying safe online. Young people have told us the thing they most want parents to cover in online safety conversations are privacy settings (81%) followed by support on cyber bullying (76%) and staying safe from strangers online (74%). In contrast, from our research with YouGov, only 28% of parents covered privacy settings in online safety conversations with their children. Parents need to stay up to date on the ins and outs on all the sites, apps and games young people use and Net Aware plays a big part in this. We’re also asking parents to look at the **[new video chat](http://www.net-aware.org.uk/networks/?order=title&category=Video%20chat)** apps, make sure they are up to date on **[social gaming ](http://www.net-aware.org.uk/networks/?order=title&category=Gaming)**and aware of **[teen dating ](http://www.net-aware.org.uk/networks/?order=title&category=Dating)**sites. ### Students - [Canteen Information](https://tottington.bury.sch.uk/students/canteen-information) - [GCSE Exams and Revision](https://tottington.bury.sch.uk/students/revision) - [Independent Study](https://tottington.bury.sch.uk/students/independent-study) - [Online Safety](https://tottington.bury.sch.uk/students/online-safety) - [Remote Learning](https://tottington.bury.sch.uk/students/remote-learning) - [The School Day](https://tottington.bury.sch.uk/about/the-school-day) - [Talk About it](https://tottington.bury.sch.uk/safe-guarding) - [![Shaw trust](https://files.schudio.com/tottington-high-school/images/partners/SET-Logo-2021.jpeg)](https://www.shaw-education.org.uk/) - ![LGBTQ+](https://files.schudio.com/tottington-high-school/images/partners/School-logo-competition-winner(1).png) - [![CEOP](https://files.schudio.com/tottington-high-school/images/partners/ceop-button2-copy.png)](https://www.ceop.police.uk/Safety-Centre/) - ![Flag Awards](https://files.schudio.com/tottington-high-school/images/partners/rainbow-flags-1(1).png) - [![Music Mark](https://files.schudio.com/tottington-high-school/images/partners/Music_Mark_copy.png)](https://www.musicmark.org.uk) - ![HSBC Smart Money 2026](https://files.schudio.com/tottington-high-school/images/partners/HSBCUKSmartMoneyBadge2026.png) [Embedded content](https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2366.94454803305!2d-2.3402890839295667!3d53.61229176245827!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x487ba4644eafc42b%3A0xb4de8eb7e031c445!2sTottington%20High%20School%20Academy!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1654010124132!5m2!1sen!2suk) **Tottington High School** Headteacher Louise Jaunbocus-Cooper Laurel Street Tottington Bury BL8 3LY Tel: 01204 882 327 Email: [![Shaw Education Trust](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/images/logo/set-misc/footer-logo-v1.png)](https://shaw-education.org.uk) **Shaw Education Trust** Kidsgrove Secondary School Gloucester Road Kidsgrove ST7 4DL VAT: GB 358822467 Tel: 01782 948259 Email: Company Number: 09067175 ### Shaw Education Trust - [About Shaw Education Trust](https://tottington.bury.sch.uk/about-shaw-education-trust) ### Staff Links - [iTrent](https://ce0524li.webitrent.com/ce0524li_ess/) - [Special Leave Request](https://forms.office.com/e/5zuDuWaBqp) - [Office.com](http://www.office.com) ### Work with us - [Current Vacancies](https://tottington-bury.schoolrecruiter.com/) ### Contact Us - [Click here to contact us](https://tottington.bury.sch.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/TottingtonHighTHS) © Copyright 2022–2026 Tottington High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://tottington.bury.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
