Need support? Big Sister is here

Need help talking to your child about risks or resources, we can help.

  • If you become aware of an issue, before taking any action, pause for a moment, take a deep breath, and stay calm. A calm space needs to be provided before discussing sensitive and vulnerable issues.

  • No child wants to feel spied on. With Big Sister, you can start an open conversation about online activities, navigating the situation in a truthful and supportive way.

  • If a threat has been confirmed, share your concerns with a trusted person or contact the NSPCC helpline at 0808 800 5000 for professional guidance. If you suspect sexual abuse, report it to CEOP or local police. For immediate danger, call 999.

  • Big Sister provides a community and support group for parents to discuss concerns and seek out resources.
