Research shows that young people feel that professionals aren't fully equipped to teach them about the risks and dangers that they can be exposed to online. Young people who have been harmed online report that they feel professionals didn’t know how to respond and support them appropriately.

Children First have worked with young people to create a series of animations for social work, teachers, police, parents and carers to help them better understand how children want them to respond to online harm. The animations were developed as part of the European Union funded ELPIS research project, which promotes excellence in international practice in responding to online child sexual abuse, in partnership with the European Barnahus/Child Houses and the PROMISE Barnahus network.

The animations can be viewed here.
