Understanding the Risks of Sharing Intimate Images

Advice for Dealing with Nudes – Think Before You Share

School aged males and females are engaged in sharing intimate materials. This is a byproduct of the internet age. Educational professionals have a strong role to play in keeping children safe online, and making sure they’re aware of the associated dangers. However, speaking to secondary age pupils about this issue can be a difficult affair. The personal nature and potentially embarrassing subject matter, can make it hard to know what to say. This can be particularly tricky since this behaviour can be transmitted through social media programmes and personal messaging acts. This can lead to bullying, inter-personal issues and general harms. Think Before You Share has written excellent guidance on dealing with this problem.
