We support children day in, day out who have been affected by this content.
And, we see how, for adult users, viewing this extreme and abusive content can act as a gateway to viewing illegal child sexual abuse material.

Foster carers do so much more than caring for our children and young people. They also help them thrive and achieve their goals. ❤️
Adam says his foster carer was his main support and so much more, helping him to 'be better and achieve better'. 🥰
