This easy-to-read guide provides information and guidance that parents need to keep their child safe online. It guides the parents to talk to their child and discuss the potential safety issues, get the family involved and being proactive in seeking further support and advice.

The Wise Up booklet aims to educate parents and carers to become aware of the signs of child sexual abuse in order to:

• Identify risky situations
• Know how to respond to children’s disclosures
• Know who to report concerns to (replace the contact details in the booklet by appropriate contact details from your country).

This booklet is written for parents whose children are being sexually exploited by an individual or group of adults outside of the family unit. It was written in consultation with parents who have witnessed the sexual exploitation of their own daughters or sons. Although every parent’s situation is unique, it is hoped that this information can be interpreted in a way that is useful to each parent, and help them to remain positive.

A family agreement is a great way to start a conversation with your whole family about how you all use the internet, and to start discussions together around how to behave in a positive way when online, whether this is at home, at school or at a friend’s.  Our family agreement provides a list of things to consider when creating a family agreement, and some examples to get you started.

This booklet aims to provide the information parents and carers need to recognise the warning signs of abuse and to build the confidence to do something about it.
