Keeping Safe
Online Safety
Understanding online safety can be challenging. There are a number of places you can find reliable help and advice.
The NSPCC regularly release information and support on how to support children and young people online.
What should I do if I see inappropriate content or need to report online abuse?
It may be that you, or your child, come across something upsetting or concerning online. It is important that you feel confident about what to do if you do see something inappropriate online, or if your child tells you they’ve seen something.
The NSPCC have a national helpline as well as lots of tips and advice for families.
