#ENDGAME – Helping young people to keep themselves safe online

Sometimes things, or people, aren’t what they seem to be, so it’s important that you know how to keep yourself safe online.

Statistics from the NSPCC state that there has been an 82 percent rise in online grooming crimes against children in the last five years. 

There has also been a rise in children and young people creating photos and videos of themselves and sharing them online, or with other people via messaging or social media apps, which is often known as ‘sexting’.

We have also seen an increase in reports of so called 'sextortion' and revenge porn and want you to know there is support there if you become a target of these crimes. 

We want to encourage young people to think about the #ENDGAME and have provided information and signposting to support for both you and your parents/carers to help everyone stay safe online.
