How to Report a Problem

Need Immediate Help?

If you're in an emergency or need immediate assistance, call 999 or contact your local police at 101 (non-emergency/local number).

When Should You Report to CEOP?

If someone has acted inappropriately toward you online or toward a child or young person you know, it’s important to report it. This could include inappropriate sexual conversations, being asked to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable, or someone pushing to meet up in person. You can report these concerns by clicking the link below.

Staying Safe Online

The misuse of the internet and mobile technologies, including trolling, sexting, cyberbullying, and sexual exploitation, can have a devastating impact on children and young people.

Advice for Students:

  • The internet is a great tool for learning, exploring, and connecting with others. However, we all need to be aware of the potential risks, especially on social media. 

Our advice:

  • Avoid sharing personal information or images with people you don’t know.

  • Don’t accept friend requests from strangers—people online aren’t always who they claim to be.

  • Use privacy settings on all devices so only those you trust can view your account.

  • Be cautious about what you post online. Think twice before sharing anything, especially nude or nearly nude photos or videos. Even if it feels harmless at the time, these could be shared without your consent and lead to serious consequences like stalking, abuse, or blackmail.

  • If someone makes you uncomfortable or you experience a disturbing situation online, tell the police or a trusted adult. You can contact the police at 101, or for support, reach out to Childline at 0800 1111 or Lifeline at 0808 808 8000.

  • While the internet offers many positives, there are people who may try to exploit, bully, or harm you. If this happens, speak up immediately.

  • Remember, if something goes wrong online, there are people ready to help.

  • If you receive inappropriate images or links, do not share them. Instead, inform the police or a trusted adult right away. Taking action can prevent further incidents, and you won’t be in trouble for reporting it.
