Important Message – Blue Whale Challenge

We have received information from our colleagues within NHS Scotland concerning a social media ‘game’ called the Blue Whale Challenge.  This activity encourages young people to self-harm followed by sending a picture as proof.  There are no reported cases in Scotland however, we would like to make you aware of this and if you have any concerns your child may be at risk please get advice by contacting your child’s school. ​

Our schools provide children and young people with information on keeping themselves safe within the Health & Wellbeing curriculum delivered within schools.  East Lothian Council also promotes the safe use of the internet and if you wish to access further information on the safe use of technology online see www.getsafeonline.org
