Report Online Child Sexual Abuse Images & Videos Anonymously

We work to stop the repeated victimisation of people abused in childhood and make the internet a safer place, by identifying & removing global online child sexual abuse imagery.


Report suspected online child sexual abuse images or videos here.

Find out why we use the term 'child sexual abuse' and not 'child pornography'. 

Think Before You Share

Our Think Before You Share campaign aims to help young people understand the harm of sharing explicit images and videos of themselves, and others, and encourage parents and educators to start timely conversations with children and young people. 

We encourage you to share our campaign using #ThinkBeforeYouShare and by following, liking and sharing the campaign on our social channels
