Verge of Harming was part of our Safe Young Lives programme. The research aimed to address the evidence gap around young people’s use of harmful behaviours in their relationships and how they can be supported.

In Phase 1, more than 850 young people bravely shared their experiences about using harmful behaviour, and 10 practitioners gave their insight into supporting those who harm.

Phase 2 research builds on these findings, exploring what effective support looks like in practice, and introducing a new framework, Empowering Engagement,  for practitioners working with young people who harm.

Examples of green behaviours include:

occasionally making light-hearted sexual jokes with friends of a similar age

flirting or sending sexual messages to someone the same age, if both consent

asking questions about sex and relationships

looking at online information about sex and relationships

masturbating at home, when alone in a private space

showing affection and experiencing physical intimacy, such as kissing, hugging and holding hands

sexual activity, including sexual touch, oral sex and penetrative sex amongst older consenting teenagers

not having sexual feelings or choosing not to experiment sexually

Pornography

Many teenagers will see pornography online. They might search for it, find it by accident or be shown it by someone else.

But pornography shouldn't be used to learn about sex or relationships. It often ignores the values of respect and consent, and gives unhelpful expectations about gender roles and body image.

Finding out about what is being taught in school about pornography and talking with young people about these issues can help them to spot and reject unhelpful messages and ideas.

Listen to your gut feelings and trust your instinct

Sometimes behaviours that look green on the surface can be more concerning, depending on the context.

Green example

You find out that your 15-year-old son has been using the search terms "lesbian porn" and "threesome" online.

Talk to your child about pornography, what it is, why people look at it, what the risks can be, and how it is different from real-life relationships. You can find helpful tips and advice for these types of difficult conversations in our harmful sexual behaviour prevention guide.

These conversations can be awkward, so plan a time where you can have this chat privately, take a matter-of-fact approach and be careful to avoid saying things that might shame them.

Some young people use pornography to learn about sex because it is easily accessible. Encourage them to visit other websites to explore sex and relationships for themselves, such as Brook.

If they keep looking at pornography, consider ways you can help them to stay as safe as possible. For example, encourage them to be careful about which websites they visit, minimise the time they spend looking at pornography, avoid inappropriate search terms like 'teen sex' which could lead them to seeing videos or pictures of under-18s and urge them not to share pornography with other people.

Learn about what type of sexual images are illegal and explain the consequences of viewing these images. You can find out more about this on our Parents Protect website.

Talk to them about how they might know if their pornography use was becoming more problematic, and what they can do if they are finding it hard to stop.

If you'd like to talk through any of the above, please contact our confidential helpline for advice and support.

This document provides guidance for young people on what online behaviours constitute sexual harassment, and what to do if they experience it.

This guidance for young people explains the three main categories of online sexual harassment, and explains the rights of young people related to it.

It shares suggestions for what young people should do if they are victims of online sexual harassment, and suggestions for what to do if they are bystanders to online sexual harassment.

Using this resource

This resource is designed for:

use by young people aged 11 and up

use by individual students

Curriculum links

England - RSHE

Online and media By the end of secondary school pupils should know:

· their rights, responsibilities and opportunities online, including that the same expectations of behaviour apply in all contexts, including online

· about online risks, including that any material someone provides to another has the potential to be shared online and the difficulty of removing potentially compromising material placed online

Northern Ireland - Learning for Life and Work

Key Stage 4 pupils should be enabled to:

· develop their understanding of relationships and sexuality and the responsibilities of healthy relationships

Scotland - Health and Wellbeing

Sexual health and parenthood

Healthy relationships are fundamental to our wellbeing

Progression step 3: I can reflect on the characteristics of safe relationships and I can seek support when needed.

Progression step 4: I can consider the role of safety in relationships and I can identify where my safety or the safety of others is threatened and I know how to respond to this.

Progression step 5: I can take steps to avoid conflict and to remove myself from unsafe relationships. I can draw on support systems for myself and others when needed.

Content warning: This section includes graphic sexual descriptions.

A nude image must include one of the following to be removed:

nude or semi-nude sexual posing

someone nude or semi-nude touching themselves in a sexual way

any sexual activity involving a child

someone hurting someone else sexually

sexual activity that includes animals.

Where possible, it is better if you can upload the original image or video, or a copy of it, rather than a photograph of it on another screen. This helps IWF find the image more accurately.

If you want to report something that isn't a nude image or video to see if it can be taken down, you can see more information from Childline about deleting things shared online here. You can make a report to CEOP, the part of the police who are there to support children and young people online. You can always speak to a Childline counsellor.

Confirming your age with ID gives us more legal powers to remove images from as many places as possible. If you don't have ID or feel comfortable using it, we can still take down images, but from fewer places.

You can use the following ID to confirm your identity using Yoti:

passport or biometric residence permit

driving licence and provisional licence

Young Scot Card (Yoti app only)

CitizenCard (Yoti app only).

If you don't have any of these, you can get a young person's ID card. You'll be able to get this for £5 with the promo code NSPCC5. Make sure you choose 'Yoti CitizenCard' on the first page.

Whatever ID you use, please make sure that it is valid and in-date.

IWF will read all reports within one working day, from Monday to Friday. The time it takes to get your image removed from the internet can be different depending on where the image is hosted.

If the image is on a UK-based website it can often be removed within 2-3 hours. Unfortunately, in some countries it can take longer - sometimes days or weeks. But IWF analysts will always try to make sure it happens as soon as possible.

We'll do our best to let you know once your image has been removed by sending a message to your  Childline locker.

We recommend you check your locker every few days after you make a report. This is so you can see if your image has been removed, and so Childline can let you know if IWF need more information to be able to remove it. Remember, IWF can't contact you directly.

If you need support to help you cope while you're waiting, you can also speak to a Childline counsellor any time.

When you use Report Remove, your image or video is shared with the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF). They'll work to get your image removed from the internet. See 'Who are the IWF?' to learn about how that happens.

Most of the time, nobody will know that you've made a report and your report won't be shared with anyone else.

If the police already have the image or video you report, then they might investigate what's happened. Only the police can decide if they'll need to tell someone else.

The police might already have your image or video if:

someone has reported it on another website and that website passed it to the police

they're investigating someone who had or has the image or video already (if someone is found to have your image and is breaking the law - regardless of how, it may be included as evidence in a criminal case against that person

someone else reported the image to them directly.

Remember that the police are there to protect you, not to get you into trouble. If the image has been reported somewhere else and you're worried, you can always  speak to a Childline counsellor.

If you have parental controls on your phone your parent or carer might see when you want to download a new app, so they might get a notification if you try to download Yoti and want to know why. To avoid this, use the second option to prove your age (called 'ID verification').

The IWF can remove images that are public or available to anyone on the internet. However, they won't be able to remove images or videos on encrypted networks like WhatsApp, or which are saved on a person's phone or computer.

If you're over 13 and you've made a report without using ID, then there may be some sites the IWF can't take images down from.

If you don't use ID the IWF can help by removing your image or video from most sites. If you do use ID, the IWF can remove from all sites

The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a UK charity, are there to help remove illegal nude images of under 18s posted online.

Once the IWF has confirmed your nude image is against the law and can be removed from the internet they give it a digital fingerprint called a 'hash'. The hash can be used to find your image online even if it has been cropped or slightly changed.

Sharing just the hash with certain trusted companies and organisations, means that technology can be used to find online matches of the image - this is key to trying to stop it appearing in different places on the internet. Even though the hashes and images are shared with UK police, this is so that if they came across the image some other way, they'd know that you also reported it yourself. Report Remove was developed with the full support of the police and no one involved wants to get you into trouble for sharing the image so it can be removed.

Different companies use the hash in different ways. For example, if an illegal image match is found to have been shared by an online account holder, a company may decide to close that person's account as posting illegal images will be against the company's terms and conditions. If your image(s) are found on or are linked to your online user account(s) it may be possible for the company to associate your profile with the images.

The companies that take the hashes trust the Report Remove process, however if they have significant concerns that the person in the image may not be the person who was age verified, they may get in touch with the IWF to raise their concerns.

There are 3 organisations that help you report your image using Report Remove. These are Childline, the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and also Yoti if you are 13 or older and choose to prove your age using ID. All of them have a responsibility to keep all of your personal information safe.

1. We'll ask you to choose your age range (under 13, 13-15, 16-17, 18 and over). If you're under 13, you'll go straight to step 3. If you're aged 13 or older, us at Childline will ask you if you have access to ID to prove your age. If you do, you'll be asked to visit Yoti. The only information we will share with Yoti is that you are wanting to prove your age to use Report Remove.

2. Once you prove your age using Yoti, you will come back to Report Remove on Childline. The only information Yoti will share with Childline is confirmation that you're younger or older than 18.

3. We'll then ask you to create or sign in to a Childline account. Then you'll go to the IWF website to share the content you want removed. Childline will only share the information below with IWF:

that you're younger than 18 (either confirmed by Yoti, or that you told us you are younger than 18),

the age range you selected at the start,

a unique number that is created when you use Report Remove.

4. After your report has been passed to the IWF, they will tell Childline if they were able to work to take the images or video down from the internet, and why. This is so Childline can let you know what happened. IWF may also tell Childline some information about what you reported, to help them know how best to support you and keep you safe. IWF will never share an image or video that you report with Childline.

Information you give to Childline
Any information you give Childline will always be treated carefully and in line with our  Privacy Policy. This means that any information you give us as part of Report Remove will only be used to help the IWF review your report and to keep you safe. This will include the age range that you select and a unique number that's created when you go onto the IWF website. We will not share any of your information with Yoti.
Information you give to IWF
The only information you will give to the IWF are the images, videos or URLs you report. There is space to add information such as where the image or video is on a webpage.

They will process this in line with their privacy policy.

Nude images and videos that IWF decide are illegal may be kept by the IWF for up to 2 years. This is because there is an agreement with the Police and CPS (Crime Prosecution Service), called a 'Memorandum of Understanding' (MOU). Illegal images are given a hash (a string of numbers that are like a digital fingerprint). The hash is shared with organisations such as technology companies who host online content, so that they can look for the image and take it down. The actual image is not shared with these companies. The image and the hash are shared with the police who store it on their Child Abuse Image Database. Any images or videos that they decide are not illegal may be kept for a maximum of 6 months for quality checking and any follow up questions. They will then be deleted. Sometimes, even if it's decided that the content isn't illegal, IWF can share the content URL with some industry members to see if they can take the content down.

If you report a URL (link to a webpage), and choose not to prove your age using ID, IWF will still check to see if the content is something they can take action on. If so IWF may share the URL with South West Grid for Learning (SWGfL), who are a charity who help people who have had intimate images of them shared online. SWGfL will never view the content on a URL that is shared with them. SWGfL send a notice to internet companies that host the webpage you reported, to tell them to take it down. This is because IWF can only send a notice to companies to take a specific webpage down when it is confirmed it is of a child. SWGfL can also send notice to take down content, but they do not need to prove it is of a child. This helps get your images or videos from even more places.

Childline will never see what pictures, videos or URLs you share with the IWF. The only information the IWF shares with Childline apart from your case number is whether or not they could take down your images or videos, and why, so we can let you know, as well as information about the image or video that you reported that will help Childline to support you and keep you safe.

Information you give to Yoti
You can choose to use Yoti to confirm your age if you're over 13. This may involve taking a selfie, so Yoti know it is you who are proving your age, and uploading a picture of some ID. Any personal data you send Yoti - like your photo, date of birth or address - is scrambled with a high level of encryption so that even if it was stolen, no one could use it to identify you. The only information Yoti shares with Childline is confirmation that you're under or over 18.

You can see Yoti's privacy policy here, and more information about their age portal here, which is what is used in Report Remove to prove your age.

If you're using the Yoti app, Yoti may use the selfie, month and year of birth you add to the Yoti app to improve its age estimation technology. You can opt out from this in the More> My Data> Biometric consent menu of the app.

There are lots of ways to get help with your report:

if you're having problems with Yoti, you can contact them directly in the app.

if you need any support with making your report send a message to Childline with the title 'Report Remove'.

Childline counsellors are always here for you and want to help. And you can  talk to them  about anything you're going through.
I have a technical issue, what should I do?

Try using your default browser and close private browsing if you're using the Yoti app.

See if you can log in to your locker and send an email to Childline explaining your problem and the team will be able to help.

Make sure the ID you're using is valid and in-date (not expired).

Incels are part of a large, sprawling and ever-changing network: the manosphere.

Incels post a risk to themselves, to women and girls, and to gender relations.

Certain words and phrases are typical of manopshere, including incel, language: femoid/foid, roastie, hit the wall, looksmaxx, cuck, simp, AWALT, LDAR...

Apart from words, members of the manosphere:

compare men against women in absolute and emphasised ways

often draw on genetics and evolutionary psychology to do so

believe that society has been hijacked by feminists and is biased against men

see women as duplicitous and having the power to hurt men, but also as sexual objects

Please note that showing an active interest in the world of incels/the manosphere is a Prevent issue. Follow normal CP and Prevent referral procedures for your school and area for matters relating to incels Prevent support can be found at

There are very valid concerns amongst parents today around how their teens, especially young men, are engaging with influencers on social media.

It can feel hard to know where to start to support your son in navigating this online world. Instead of trying to protect them from every new "bad influence", as parents we need to build his sense of belonging and resilience, as well as his critical and emotional literacy skills. The most powerful tool we have to do this is by having more real, open and meaningful conversations with our adolescent sons, which will allow them to feel seen, heard and valued.

This toolkit, co-developed by Movember and partner Beyond Equality, gives tips to parents about how to start and continue conversations on these more challenging topics. This is not a mental health escalation tool, if you are worried about your teen's mental health, please reach out to your local crisis support service or contact your doctor for expert advice. Conversations don't have to look one way, but it can also be hard to know where to start.

You can use the ALEC approach; four steps to helping you approach important conversations, as a guide to get you going.

‍

The Beyond Equality and Movember Toolkit: Talking with Our Teen Sons About Influencers Online

This toolkit has been produced following the publication of the Movember report: Young Men's Health in a Digital World

‍

WHAT ELSE CAN PARENTS AND CARERS DO BEYOND STARTING THESE OPEN CONVERSATIONS?

* Keep the lines of communication open

* Challenge stereotypes with men and boys

* Model and celebrate positive behaviours

* Learn and upskill on understanding the internet

* Normalise having struggles

* Work with schools, community groups (or start one!)

* Make sure you are taking care of yourself as a parent - checking in with yourself

* Think about your own relationship with gender and masculinity

BBC Bitesize - 7 signs to look for in a healthy relationship

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
1. Honesty and communication is a good one to start with. Communication happens in so many different ways in all relationships. Some people communicate with their phones, their words, their images, their writing, their eyes. Reflect on how you communicate with someone in your life... Does it feel easy? Are you both really, really brilliant at communicating with each other? Like REALLY good at communicating? Different relationships allow for different levels of openness and honesty... So with some people you may be guarded, while with others you may be able to communicate your innermost self. Can you talk about your emotions accurately and sensitively? And can you listen to each other? Like REALLY listen to each other? Taking it in turns. Do you feel safe to share and do you feel heard?

2. Kindness and mutual respect is a big one. But what does being 'kind' actually mean? What do you understand by this term? Being kind to you? Being kind to them? What if being kind to someone else means that you aren't being kind to yourself anymore? Aghhh... it can be really tough. Ultimately, it's no good if one person has all the power. There shouldn't be leaders in relationships. So this is about equality. Does one person do all the talking & asking and the other does all the listening & allowing? Or are you both able to have ideas, to initiate plans and make suggestions? Are you both able to negotiate and compromise? In a clear, kind and honest way? Kind relationships should demonstrate fairness. Think of it like a set of scales... are they balanced?

3. Shared interests and shared outlooks can be helpful in relationships. Time is precious. We spend so much time in lessons at school learning, and actually quite a lot of our time asleep. So the bits in between are important for fun, connection and making memories. Have a think about the time you spend with other people... are you actively choosing to do that thing or are you just 'going along with it'. Whether it's gaming, making a smoothie, playing football, watching pranks, gazing up at the clouds or snuggling up with a movie.... It's important that everyone involved wants to be doing that thing. That it makes you smile. That it feels easy. Time flies when you're having fun - when you're lost in the moment, when you're really present and being the real you.

4. Boundaries and consent are essential in all our relationships. And when this bit is right on both sides, relationships can really blossom and grow. We've been practising consent from day one. Since we were tiny. Learning about our boundaries. What are we okay with? What doesn't feel right? Asking for permission, listening to the answer, compromising, negotiating and often, finding a 'happy medium'. Siblings have been learning how to take it in turns, friends work out how to share, people you hang out with at school teach you how to compromise, your teammates develop an understanding of where your limits are! So this is about finding an agreement. Checking in with each other. Reading body language. Using your words to make sure that you are both really understanding the situation... 'Are you okay with this?' Don't underestimate the complexities of consent... it isn't always easy. Keep asking yourself... Do you genuinely have a voice and a choice?

5. Aim for authenticity, which is really all about being the 'real' you in all of your relationships. And letting others be the real them. But we know this isn't simple. Especially when we're all working out 'who am I?' all of the time. And it can be even more confusing in our digital worlds full of texts, chats, filters and edits... Who is the genuine you? Do your words and behaviours match? People don't always say what they mean. Sometimes they don't mean what they say. Some folks pretend. Or fake it or make excuses. Others just go along with it (for lots of complicated reasons). For relationships to be safe - you need to be able to explore who the real you is, without fear of judgement. No filters, no edits, no pretending. Real feels. Getting to know 'you' can take time, as we grow and develop. And of course, we can change over time...

6. Being generous and respecting privacy is a really good sign that your relationship is happy and healthy. And we don't mean generous with stuff. We know that sometimes young people can feel suffocated by the intensity of a friendship or a relationship. As if someone is trying to 'own' them. But if a person is really good for you - they will encourage connections with others. They will want you to have hobbies, to have other friends, to have parts of your world that they aren't in. And that's beneficial for everyone. Is this something you are both comfortable with? Something you can both accept and encourage? Remember you don't have to spend every minute of every day together. You don't have to reply to every text immediately. You are allowed some time out. And you can ask for some privacy... Take the pressure off!

7. Dealing with conflict, reconciliations and endings is a skill. Not all friendships and relationships last forever. You are inevitably going to stumble and trip along the way, and knowing how to manage the tricky times is key. Humans are complicated. This means that sometimes our relationships with others aren't straightforward. Things might not work out exactly as planned. Sometimes you will need space. Sometimes you will need to talk. Sometimes you might need to apologise. If this is really tricky for you to do face-to-face, then maybe you can text or write them a letter. Challenging conversations need to happen - and these can be gentle and calm. And guess what? CONNECTING! When you work through a difficult moment in a relationship - you often come out the other end stronger, knowing each other better, and more emotionally connected. And if the other person doesn't want to work though that with you - in a meaningful way - then you might have to consider an ending. Going different ways isn't always a bad thing. It might feel like agony at the time... but it frees you up to go and find other more happy, healthy and balanced connections!
It's important to remember:

If you don't feel heard in a relationship - you are allowed to ask that person to do better.

If you aren't able to be the real 'you' in a relationship - you must tell someone. It is important not to keep these thoughts secret. A problem shared is often MUCH easier to manage.

If consent is complicated and your boundaries are being compromised - you must be brave enough to tell this to a safe adult. They can usually help you untangle things!

If you feel that someone is pretending to be something they are not, can you reassure them that it is better to be their authentic self?

If the power dynamic in a relationship feels wonky - you need to address this ASAP! As a matter of urgency. Are you brave enough to talk to another friend or family member about this?

If you ever feel that someone is limiting your connections with other people - it is really important that a safe adult knows that you are feeling isolated. Could you seek support at school? You could ask for a Safeguarding-trained professional to help you - they are very good at supporting young people at these tricky moments...

The main thing to remember is that when relationships are great, they are REALLY great. But that all relationships need nurturing and they are sometimes hard work. However, if you are constantly finding yourself in conflict moments, bickering, arguing and unable to communicate - there will definitely be adults you can talk to at home, in school, or you can even ask the nurses & doctors at your local NHS surgery. There is ALWAYS someone there to help you - it shouldn't feel overwhelming.
