What Parents Need to Know about Squid Game
Published 1st November 2021
A free online safety guide on Squid Game.
With themes of horror and violence, it’s important for parents and carers to understand the potential risks posed to young audiences by the nine-episode Netflix-exclusive TV show, Squid Game. The series, rated 15+, is about a world where contestants who are deeply in debt play children's games in order to win cash prizes. The losers, however, are violently killed. The show’s popularity has meant it has spread in various guises across online platforms, with a heightened risk of children and young people potentially viewing unsuitable content. That's why we've created this guide to help parents and carers understand exactly what Squid Game is all about.
In the guide, you'll find tips on a number of potential risks such as inappropriate content, viral spin-offs and scene re-enactments.
