This week’s #WakeUpWednesday post focuses on the possible dangers of health and fitness apps.
Over time, more and more fitness apps have been finding their way into circulation. Usually free to download – at least initially – these apps claim to offer helpful advice and assistance in routine management to those looking to lead a healthier lifestyle.
While these platforms can be useful, they do present several safety concerns. These issues become more significant when we consider that children and young people can use these apps to stay active – whether out of concern for their own health or for reasons of body image. This guide breaks down the risks of health and fitness apps and offers expert advice on how to address these concerns to safeguard younger users.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school office who will put you in touch with the Safeguarding Team.
