Reporting concerns
Anybody can make a report, it doesn't have to be you and it doesn't even have to be an adult. The following content can be reported:
- Child sexual abuse
- Terrorism
- Bullying, threats, harassment, hate speech and content promoting self-harm or suicide
- Accounts that pretend to be someone else (impersonation)
- Online abuse, unwanted sexual advances and violence
- Pornographic material that appears on non-adult websites
Where to make a report
- Report Remove Tool - confidentially report sexual images and/or videos and have them removed from the internet
- Child Exploitation & Online Protection - report sexual abuse or exploitation concerns to CEOP
- ACT Campaign - report something related to terrorism
- Report child abuse to your local council
If you or your child come across harmful photos, videos or messages on a specific app, such as Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube or other popular social media platforms, you can use the built-in reporting tool on the relevant platform.
Internet Matters has helpful step-by-step guides on how to report harmful content across several popular social media platforms and video games.
