What Parents and Carers Need to Know about Tellonym
Published 14th October 2020
A free online safety guide on Tellonym.
Tellonym is a messaging network that allows children to send messages to each other anonymously. Users are encouraged to share their Tellonym link with others through social platforms like Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram, then wait for friends to reply to questions anonymously. The app is free to download from both Google Play and the App Store and is very similar to the Sarahah app which was removed in 2018 due to repeated incidents of online bullying and inappropriate use.
In the guide, you'll find tips include how to help protect your child’s mental health, how to keep personal profiles private and how to reduce the risks of online grooming.
