The child or young person in your care may have found that an indecent image of themselves has been shared online to others and are worried about what will happen. They may feel anxious or embarrassed about the incident, and it’s important that you act appropriately and empathetically to support them.

To obtain a clear understanding of what actions you can take to protect your child, visit the ‘Image Sharing’ section of the Safer Schools NI App. We deliver guidance on how you can speak to the child or young person in your care in an appropriate manner, how to prevent the spread of the image and resources for further support.
