Knowing when to ask for help online
This RSE & PSHE video helps pupils understand why it is important to tell a trusted adult if something online makes them feel worried, confused or uncomfortable.
The video shares different situations pupils might recognise, such as receiving messages in a game, seeing something scary online, being asked personal questions by someone they do not know or feeling unsure after making an unsafe choice. It acknowledges that telling an adult can sometimes feel difficult, especially if children are worried they might get into trouble or have a device taken away.
Through these examples, the video reassures pupils that they do not have to deal with online worries on their own. It shows how trusted adults, including family members, carers and teachers, can help children block messages, check age restrictions, talk through what happened and make safer choices in the future.
