Childline has practical tips on staying safe online and runs a free and confidential helpline where you can talk about anything. Call, chat online or email.

Thinkyouknow provides advice on using websites, mobiles and new technology. You can also report if you feel uncomfortable or worried about someone you are chatting to online. The site is run by the National Crime Agency’s CEOP Command which protects young people from harm online and offline.

The Mix offers essential support for under 25s and can help with challenges such as mental health, money, homelessness, finding a job, relationships, breakups and drugs. There’s lots of useful information on their website or you can call, chat or text their confidential helpline.
