Plume School : Safety Alert - Facebook 8 September 2010 - 14.45pm To all Parents/Carers The following alert was received from a neighbouring school. It has been checked thoroughly by our Child Protection Officer and is a genuine alert. The same message has been emailed to all students today and a link will be placed on our school website. Facebook have launched a new application - Facebook Places. When it is enabled, anyone can find out where you are when you are logged in. It gives the actual address & map location of where you are as you use Facebook. This is very dangerous information and it is recommended that you do not provide this information. You are enabled automatically without being told so it is really important to disable this immediately so that people on Facebook can’t see where you are all the time. TO UNDO: Go to Profile->Privacy>Edit your privacy settings->Custom->Customise settings and then change - Things I Share-: uncheck 'Include me in People Here now' and also disable 'Friends can check me in to places'. PLEASE make sure you disable this as soon as you can. Plume School 01621 854681 admin@plume.essex.sch.uk |
