For Professionals
A practical landing page for safeguarding, education, and community professionals working with children and young people in the UK.
This page is for designated safeguarding leads, social workers, sports club and youth-group leaders, foster and kinship carers, GPs and school nurses, youth workers, and librarians. The guidance on this site is written to support — not replace — your organisation's policies, your professional training, and any statutory frameworks you work within.
If you're a school safeguarding lead
Resources for DSLs and deputies covering KCSIE compliance, online safety maturity, filtering and monitoring, and reporting routes.
If you're a local authority social worker
Cross-references for children's services practitioners working on exploitation, county lines, and looked-after children's online safety.
If you're a sports club or youth-group leader
Tools for trustees, designated safeguarding officers, and volunteers running activities for under-18s.
If you're a foster or kinship carer
Guidance built around the specific online safety challenges of fostering and kinship care.
If you're a GP or health professional
Cross-references for primary care, school nurses, and CAMHS practitioners who see digital harms turn up in consultations.
Training and CPD
Structured courses for professionals who want a more systematic walk-through of online safety topics.
This is practical educational content to support families. For case-specific concerns about a child's safety, contact the NSPCC helpline on 0808 800 5000 or your local safeguarding team.
