Sexting
If you have concerns that a child or young person may be receiving or even sending indecent images on their
mobile phone, you should talk to them about the consequences of their actions.
Make them aware that once the image has been sent, they have lost control of
that image and anyone can potentially have a look at it.
Click here for more information and
advice on some of the risks that you child could be taking and how to deal with
this.
