Reporting child sexual abuse imagery is simple, easy and anonymous.
The victimisation of a child who has endured sexual abuse doesn’t stop once they have been safeguarded. If images and videos of their abuse have been captured and shared online, they face repeated suffering every time that imagery surfaces.
But together, we can prevent this.
If you stumble across imagery you suspect may contain child sexual abuse, report it to us at eu1.hubs.ly/H0z0r060.

🔎 Just one report can change a life.
Thanks to a single anonymous tip-off from a member of the public, our analysts were able to identify ‘Jess’, a British schoolgirl who had been targeted and manipulated over a livestream by an online offender.
She was estimated to be 11 to 13 years old.
With the information our expert analysts were able to ascertain, the police were able to safeguard Jess, while we arranged for the removal of this content online.
