Tell your centre
- Open Report a problem. You can also find it in Me.
- Choose what happened, like "Someone is being mean to me" or "I do not feel safe".
- Tell us more if you want to. You do not have to.
- Send it.
A safe adult at your centre will read it. If you tick Leave my name off it, your name is hidden. The adults who check reports can still see it came from your account, so they can help you. Your family is not shown your report.
Keep yourself safe
- Never share your password with anyone except your parent or carer.
- Never share your address, phone number or school with someone online.
- If someone asks you to keep a secret from your parents, tell a grown-up you trust.
