Child Safety & Family Protection
Practical guidance for parents, carers, clubs and schools to reduce the risks children face online.
Think before sharing
A school uniform, house number, location tag, regular journey or public timetable may reveal more than intended. Avoid posting identifying details about children and consider who can view a post.
Online bullying & discrimination
Take concerning messages seriously. Preserve evidence where appropriate, avoid escalating an argument and speak to a trusted adult or designated safeguarding lead. PostGuard's Bullying Shield provides decision-support guidance; it cannot determine conclusively whether a crime has occurred.
