Where to get help
If something is happening at home or in a relationship that makes you feel scared, hurt or controlled, it is not your fault and you do not have to deal with it on your own.
- A trusted adult at school, like a teacher, form tutor or the Designated Safeguarding Lead.
- Childline: 0800 1111 or 1-2-1 chat at childline.org.uk (free, confidential, 24 hours a day, does not show on phone bills).
- The Hideout: thehideout.org.uk.
- Emergency: 999; if you cannot talk, stay on the line, listen, and press 55 on a mobile when asked.
Staying safe online
If you are worried someone might check your phone or computer, you can use a school device, or find out how to cover your tracks online at thehideout.org.uk.

Offer cards to everyone so no pupil stands out. Tell pupils they can keep the card in school, for example in their planner or locker, take a photo of it, or just remember the number.
