A SCHOOL has advised parents on how to keep unauthorised pictures of their children from appearing on the internet.

Lee Chapel Primary, in the Knares, Basildon, said in its latest newsletter: “Worried parents are increasingly contacting the school regarding videos, messages and pictures of their children which are being posted on social media by other pupils without their consent."

The advice includes telling children to not allow friends to photograph them, accept friends requests only from people they know and setting profiles to private.
