Digital safety, one step at a time

These short guides introduce ways to think about online safety and getting support. They are general information, not a substitute for individual safeguarding advice.

Boundaries and consent

  • You can say no to a request or conversation that makes you uncomfortable.
  • Someone pressuring, threatening, or repeatedly ignoring your boundaries is not respecting your choice.
  • You do not have to handle a difficult situation alone.

Threats involving intimate images

  • Do not send more images or forward an intimate image to prove what happened.
  • If it is safe, note the account or platform involved and ask a safeguarding service for help.
  • You are not to blame for someone else's threat or decision to share an image.

Cyberbullying and online harassment

  • You can block or report an account if doing so is safe for you.
  • Consider saving relevant messages or account details without redistributing harmful images.
  • Tell someone who can help and explain if you are worried about retaliation.

Help-seeking and supporting a friend

  • Listen without blaming, pressuring, or asking for graphic details.
  • Do not promise to keep a safety concern secret from everyone.
  • Help the person find a safeguarding service or safe adult they choose.
