Child sexual exploitation - warning signs for young people

Tips to keep safe

  1. Trust yourself to know when something is wrong. If someone makes you feel unsafe, pressured, trapped or frightened, follow your instincts and get help straight away.
  2. Don’t trust people you don’t know, even if they seem friendly – and make sure you know who you are talking to online. Never give away personal details or agree to meet someone who you have only talked to online
  3. Don’t be tricked into doing things that are unsafe, even if they seem like fun. What might look exciting at first could be more harmful than you realise
