Abstract
(UKCCIS) Produced by the UK Counsel for Child Internet Safety, this cornerstone advice for school heads and child protection designates (CPDs) or designated safeguarding leads (DSLs) on youth produced sexual imagery. Research found that 61% of secondary school head teachers reported this as a greater concern than smoking, drugs, obesity or offline bullying. This advice covers responding to disclosures, handling devices and imagery, assessing risk, reporting protocols, recording incidents, involving parents, supporting victims and victimizers, and preventative safeguarding and IT education.
