Squid Game

Last year, Mr Fenton organised a parent session with cyber safety expert Brett Lee.  One of his recommendations was the website Common Sense Media (https://www.commonsensemedia.org/) which gives up to date information on how appropriate various media is for children.  

After seeing a number of students, including year 1 and 2 students, playing ‘Squid Game’ I have used this resource to review this Netflix show.  ‘Squid Game’ is trending at the moment and has a high level of violence where characters are systematically tortured and killed for the pleasure of a game master.  It has themes of gambling, sex and threats of sexual violence. This show is rated by Common Sense Media as +16 years. 

I would urge parents to be mindful of the content of this show and how appropriate the themes are for young children.
