Because if you do, you will help to keep other children and young people safe online.

Because you spend a lot of free time listening to music, playing games, sharing selfies and chatting on social media you may feel able to recognise suspicious or inappropriate online behaviour.

You know how to protect yourself by recognising, ignoring or blocking it.

But younger children can’t. We need you to help us ‘Join the Dots’ – so we can find and stop the creeps.

Report and help keep other children and young people safe.

What is Join the Dots?

You might be playing games online or posting on Facebook, and you feel something is suspicious. Or you know something's wrong, but you're confident you can look after yourself. So you can block it and ignore it or, you can protect other children and young people by reporting it.

Join the Dots is a safe and anonymous way to report creepy online behaviour. It helps you to take control of your online space by using your knowledge to protect others and sharing information about what's worrying you.

You might think it's not important, or you may be scared to tell someone what you've seen online. By sharing information, you'll be helping to keep you, your friends and other kids safe on the internet.

What happens when you share information with us?

You have helped protect other children and young people online. Thank you.

You will need to fill out a brief report but you can stay anonymous if you wish, we will not share your personal details with the police or other organisations unless you provided permission for us to do so.

The information you provide in your report will be sent to us, and we'll share this with the police, for you. You might think the police can't do anything, or you might not want to talk with the police. When you make your report, you can choose to stay anonymous.

The information in your report could be what the police need to keep the internet a safe place and help protect other children and young people from harm.
