The Report Harmful Content Button

The RHC button has been developed to offer anyone living in the UK a simple mechanism for gaining access to reporting routes for commonly used social networking sites, gaming platforms, apps and streaming services alongside trusted online safety advice, help and support. 

It also provides access for reporting online harm, for those over the age of 13 where an initial report has been made to industry but no action has been taken. RHC will review content in line with a sites' community standards and act in a mediatory capacity where content goes against these.

Children under 13 years of age are encouraged to tell an adult that they trust about what has happened and to ask for their help in reporting this going through our how we can help resource together.

RHC also have advice and links to reporting routes for other online harms people may come across or face, such as impersonation, privacy violations and intimate image abuse. 

Reporting to RHC

Reports can be made 24/7 through the online reporting forms and helpline practitioners will review and respond to reports  within 72 hours between 10am and 4pm Monday to Friday.

Assessing Smartphone Readiness


"Is my child old enough to have a phone?" It's a common, understandable question that many parents ask, and it is very difficult to answer as there are so many factors involved.
For younger children it's often peer pressure, with older children social isolation is very common.

 The Institute for Digital Media and Child Development have put together some tip sheets for parents which are really useful.   There are 3 parts:
  • Assessing readiness.
  • Preparing for healthy use.
  • What now?
You can view all the tip sheets HERE.

 

 "How do I start that conversation with my child?"

Early and continuing conversations is important and should not be any different from any other normal conversation. 

To help parents, Internet Matters have put together some conversation starters and tips to help which you can find HERE.
