Reporting Online Safety Concerns

What to do when you see online abuse or inappropriate content

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.

If you're worried about something a child or young person may have experienced online, you can contact the NSPCC Helpline for free support and advice. If your child needs more support, they can contact Childline.

There is lots of advice on the NSPCC site below on how to report your online safety concerns in different situations. If you feel that school need to be aware of anything your child has experienced online, please contact your class teacher or a DSL (Designated Safeguarding Lead) via the office.
