What are the consequences of sharing terrorist content?

What is terrorist offending and terrorist content?

Where can I report terrorist content?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Depending on the case, the consequences of being convicted under the Terrorism Act as a child can include:

Sentences in prison or young offenders' institutions depending on age

Community orders, including tagging, curfews and restrictions on movements

Confiscation of electronic devices including phones, tablets, consoles and computers

Long-term restrictions on travel to some foreign countries

Impacts on opportunities to attend college or university and gain qualifications

Impacts on being able to get a job

What is terrorist offending and terrorist content?

Terrorism is the use or threat of violence in order to achieve political, religious or ideological change.
In 2024 39 young people aged 17 or under were arrested for terrorism-related offences in the UK.

Being convicted of a terrorism-related crime listed under the Terrorism Act usually means stronger punishments are applied than other types of offending.

Terrorist-related offending can include:

displaying the signs, symbols and slogans of terrorist groups

creating extremist content that celebrates terrorists or terrorist groups

sharing extremist content that celebrates terrorists or terrorist groups

encouraging other people to commit terrorist crimes

threatening acts of violence for terrorist causes online.

Terrorist content is content that would be illegal under the Terrorism Act if you were to create, share or celebrate it, or use it to threaten other people. It might include images of graphic violent acts being committed for terrorist causes; the signs, symbols or slogans of terrorist groups; or encouraging other people to commit terrorist crimes.

If you suspect you have been sent terrorist or any illegal content don't open it or share it. Report it.

Where can I report terrorist content?

What is the What You Share Leaves A Trace campaign?

Counter Terrorism Policing's What You Share Leaves A Trace campaign is aimed at 13 to 17 year-old boys at risk of being caught up in terrorist offending. It has been designed in response to increasing numbers of teenage boys being arrested for and convicted of terrorist offences in the UK, often connected to accessing and sharing extremist content on social media.

The campaign centres on two videos. One for younger teens (13 to 15 years old) and another one for older teens (16 to 17). The aim is to educate boys about the risks of extremist content and empower them to make smart decisions for themselves. Both videos focus on the real world consequences of sharing terrorist content, such as losing their devices, travel restrictions, and long term impacts on education, jobs and family.

Where is the campaign running?

The campaign is on TikTok and YouTube as we know they are where large numbers of teenage boys spend their time, and are most effective at delivering messages to this audience. Partners and supporters are welcome to share the videos on other platforms and social media channels.

Gordon Smart investigates the dangers of these nicotine pouches.

Recent regulations have made it harder for young people to get their hands on cigarettes and vapes - but now we're investigating a new nicotine product that's growing in popularity. Nicotine pouches, a.k.a 'snus', are small parcels you put on your gums... Presenter Gordon Smart explores how the lack of regulation means children can technically buy them, and the staggering levels of nicotine they contain, that can make people sick.

Pods and Pouches, which manufactures nicotine pouch brand Iceberg, says it limits sales of its product to over 18s, caps nicotine content to 50mg/g, and supports strengthening regulations surrounding the sale and consumption of its products to minors. It says its products undergo rigorous testing, and it believes they offer a healthier alternative to smoking and vaping. It says it works with wholesalers to ensure they target appropriate customers.

Industry voice, the Global Institute for Novel Nicotine, told us that it backs the government's plan for an 18 year old age limit and a cap on nicotine pouch strength, and says it is in favour of licensing nicotine pouches so that Trading Standards have authority to act against rogue retailers if needed.

The Department of Health and Social Care told us that the Tobacco and Vapes Bill will stop consumer nicotine products, including pouches, from being deliberately branded and advertised to appeal to children.

We know how hard it is for survivors to talk about what has happened to them. However, we also know that there are survivors who want their voices heard and stories shared beyond counselling sessions. They want to draw attention to highlight the harm done, show how they were failed or how they were helped and supported.

Survive wants to reach out those survivors who wish to share their stories. During Sexual Violence Awareness Week 2022, we are appealing to former and current Survive service-users to get involved. The information that they provide will used in a series of consultations and focus groups to not only help shape our services but also influence support for survivors locally, regionally and nationally. If you are one of those survivors, email beheard@survive-northyorks.org.uk

"Action Have Consequences is aimed at younger road users. The presentation is delivered by representatives of the emergency services and Tiffany (who lost her brother in an RTC). The presentation is narrated by a member of the road safety team. The stories are all different and personal to the individual telling the story. It clearly impacted with students as everyone listened intently, eerily silent at times and with some showing emotions. The initial session gained positive feedback, and more importantly, it seems the session was pitched at the right level and Tiffany's involvement resonated with the target audience. It is hoped that the presentation will gain momentum and attract funding to open it up across the service within other road safety partnerships."

On 5th June 2018, Tiffany received a North Yorkshire Police Chief Constable commendation for her work supporting the project.

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).

An accident affects so many people. Not only the individual and their family, but their friends, witnesses and the members of staff from the Emergency services who attend the scene.

Taking a multi-agency approach, working in conjunction with North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, North Yorkshire Police, Health and Council Officers, the 'Learn and Live' campaign is delivered within Sixth Forms of local Secondary Schools to raise awareness of the consequences of poor driving and being a passenger in a vehicle driven by a young driver.It is hoped that by improving driver and passenger behaviour, it will reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on our roads in this area.

Online life and offline life is just life

For many of us, we see our online lives and offline lives as different, but children are growing up with technology and the internet and for them there isn't a difference; online life and offline life is just life.

Technology can move at an extraordinarily fast pace and it can be difficult to know how to start talking to your child about what they're doing online, who they might be speaking to or discussing the potential risks and issues.

Right-Wing Activism and Extremism - Signs and Symbols Autumn

Act for Youth is aimed at 11–16-year-olds to teach them about the three recommended actions to take during a marauding terrorist attack – RUN, HIDE and TELL. These lesson plans will support those in the sector to mitigate the risk from terrorism and protect students

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Teacher guidance notes: RUN HIDE TELL lesson plans

While the chances of being caught up in a knife or gun attack are rare, it is important that young people are prepared and know how to protect themselves if the need arises. The National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) provides guidance on three key steps for keeping safe in the event of a knife or gun attack. The advice is, if caught up in an incident to RUN to safety, HIDE if you can't, and TELL the police when you're safe - guidance which can be applied to many places and situations.

We know from case studies and testimony of people who have survived attacks that, if followed, this advice can save lives. However, it is crucial that this message is conveyed to young people in a way that is sensitive and not alarmist. To support you to teach these messages safely and confidently, this lesson pack has been produced for NaCTSO and the Department for Education (DfE) by the PSHE Association, to form part of the ACT for YOUTH campaign to inform 11-16 year olds of how best to react to a knife or gun attack.

These lessons should not be a 'one off', or delivered in the immediate aftermath of a knife or gun attack, as this is likely to raise feelings of anxiety for young people rather than provide reassurance (the PSHE Association has published separate guidance on talking to children and young people in the event of a terrorist incident).
Instead, they should be taught within a planned series of lessons developing risk management and personal safety skills. Young people should feel able and confident to report suspicious behaviour or items, and to protect themselves in the unlikely event of being caught up in a knife or gun attack.

Worried about a friend?

Are you worried that a friend or someone you know may be being exploited through County Lines activity? Then below are some of the signs to spot:

Returning home late, staying out all night or going missing for days or weeks at a time.

Being found in areas away from home, particularly areas you would not expect them to travel to alone.

Increasing drug use, or having a large amount of drugs on them when they do not use drugs themselves.

Suddenly being secretive about who they are talking to or where they are going.

Unexplained absences from school, work, college or training.

Having large amounts of money on them, or having lots of new stuff such as clothes, jewellery or phones they usually wouldn't be able to afford.

A change in behaviour - more disruptive, aggressive, anxious.

Using drug-related or adult language you would not expect that young person to know.

Having injuries that cannot be explained.

In possession of hotel keys or keys to unknown places.

Watch Aimee's story below to find out about some of the signs to spot:

Seeing these signs in someone may not automatically mean they are being criminally exploited. It may be that something else is going on for that person. But, if you spot a number of these signs in someone, it is important to raise this with a trusted adult to ensure that person is safe.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Step two: identifying sexualised behaviour

In order to respond appropriately to a child displaying problematic or harmful sexual behaviour, you need to decide where a child's behaviour sits on the continuum.

A child's behaviour can change depending on the circumstances they are in and sexual behaviour can move in either direction along the continuum. So you should look at each situation individually, as well as considering any patterns of behaviour.

Indicators that behaviour is problematic or harmful

Children naturally explore and experiment with their sexuality as they grow up. If the behaviour seems to go beyond curiosity, for example if it is obsessive or compulsive, this might indicate it is problematic or harmful.
> Find out more about what is considered developmentally typical sexual behaviour
What to consider

The age of the child or young person who has displayed the sexual behaviour.
As children grow up they develop sexually. What is developmentally typical sexual behaviour for a 15-year-old may be problematic or harmful for an eight-year-old. Consider the child's developmental ability as well as their chronological age.

The age of the other children or young people involved.
If the children involved are the same age or developmental ability the behaviour may be considered developmentally typical. But if the children are of different ages or developmental abilities, the behaviour might be problematic or harmful.

Is the behaviour unusual for that particular child or young person?
If a child's behaviour is out of character, it's important to take time to consider why the child is behaving unusually.

Have all the children or young people involved freely given consent?
If the behaviour involves coercion, intimidation or forcing others to take part, it should be considered harmful.

Are the other children or young people distressed?
If the behaviour is upsetting others, this could indicate it is problematic or harmful.

Is there an imbalance of power?
If the child displaying the behaviour is in a more powerful position than the other children involved, this indicates it is problematic or harmful. This might happen if there are significant differences in age, size, power or developmental ability.

Is the behaviour excessive, degrading or threatening?
Excessive behaviour means behaviour that is obsessive, persistent, compulsive or has been going on for a long time. Any behaviour that involves force, coercion, bribery or threats is harmful.

Is the behaviour occurring in a public or private space?
Some behaviours, for example masturbation, might be considered developmentally typical if they are being carried out in private. But if they are being displayed in public, they would be considered problematic or harmful.

Other behaviours might give cause for concern if they are particularly secretive or are being carried out in private after intervention from adults.
