Message from Merseyside Police
We have been made aware by several parents and students that a 'Wirral Rumours/ Whispers' Snapchat group has been made. This seems to be a Wirral wide issue and not confined to just our school.
Students are added to this group without their consent and all posts are anonymous. Highly malicious rumours are being spread naming children in Wirral schools. Additionally, exact addresses are provided under 'egg this house', again anonymously, but the addresses are real. This is extremely concerning and illegal.
We urge you to speak to your sons and wards and to check their online activity regularly. We will follow this up in school with assemblies on online safety and the new legislation in the 2023 Online Safety Act.
Please do report any suspicious activity to the police/CEOPS.
