E-SAFETY
PRESS THE BUTTON ABOVE IF YOU NEED HELP TO REPORT A CYBER SUCH AS ONLINE BULLYING.
The CEOP button above has been developed for children and young people and is offered as a convenient and potentially less intimidating method of reporting these sensitive types of crime, alternative to face-to-face and telephone reporting to local police forces. It provides children and young people with access to an online mechanism for reporting known or suspected child sexual exploitation or child sexual abuse directly to CEOP.
If you are experiencing online bullying or something else online has worried you please speak to an adult you trust, or you can talk to Childline at any time on 0800 1111 or at www.childline.org.uk.

Tell your parents right away if you come across any information that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Do not give out personal information such as your home address, e-mail address, telephone number, passwords or pictures.
Never agree to get together with someone you meet online without checking with your parents first.
