You may have seen recent press coverage of the social media influencer, Andrew Tate, and his effect on the opinions of young people, especially young men, in the UK.

We, along with a number of schools in Scotland, have felt the need to raise awareness of this situation with our young people but also with our parents/carers. To this end we have made a guide to speaking to your child about Andrew Tate and his recent arrest, should you feel that it is a topic of conversation and/or interest in your home.

We understand that the issues raised within are incredibly sensitive and to this end we urge caution in reading the document below. We hope you find this helpful but if you or your child have any concerns please contact the relevant member of the Guidance team.
