Who can you talk to?
If you're feeling worried about something you have seen or are experiencing online, it is important that you:
- TELL a trusted adult straight away
Remember that this can be your: class teacher, any other teacher, teaching assistant, Headteacher as well as your parents or adult family members.
Together, we can help you, or find someone who can help you.
NEVER worry about telling an adult if something is worrying you, even if you have done something wrong or embarrassing.
- IGNORE any nasty messages that you are sent
Do not be tempted to retaliate or join in. Save the messages and TELL an adult.
- BLOCK the user
With the help of an adult, you can block the user.
- REPORT your concerns
Make a report. The adult you tell in school will make a report about what has happened.
