Children
We want you to feel safe and be happy at school. If you have any worries, you can talk to your class teacher or any adult in school that you feel comfortable with. It is sometimes very helpful to talk through your problems. There are always adults that care.
Remember, if you do feel there is no one to talk to, there is also a helpline called ‘childline’ where you can talk to a counsellor confidentially. Childline won’t tell anyone else unless you want them to or if you are in danger. The telephone number is 0800 1111 and this number is free.
Online Safety
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) aims to keep children and young people safe from sexual abuse and grooming online.
Parents, carers and children can report a concern about child sexual abuse or online exploitation to the CEOP Safety Centre.
ANY CHILD IN IMMEDIATE DANGER SHOULD ALWAYS CONTACT 999 FIRST.
You can contact CEOP by clicking on the logo on this page. This links to the CEOP website where you can report any concerns you may have. Alternatively, click www.ceop.police.uk/safety-centre/
