Group Chat Risk Checker

Tick any indicators you have noticed about a group chat your child is in. We'll assess the risk level and suggest what to do next.

Which of these apply to the group chat?

Unknown or unrecognised members

The group includes people your child does not know personally in real life.

Late-night messages

Messages are regularly sent after 10 pm or before your child is awake.

Bullying or mocking behaviour

You have seen or your child has mentioned unkind, mocking, or threatening messages in the group.

Pressure to share photos

Group members have asked for, encouraged, or pressured the sharing of photos or videos.

Harmful or explicit content shared

Sexual, violent, or other harmful content has been shared within the group.

Rapid or unexplained member changes

New people are added frequently, people are removed, or the group has been renamed without obvious reason.

Your child is secretive about the group

Your child hides their phone, minimises the chat, or becomes anxious when you are nearby and the group is active.
