This booklet is created to inform parents about various forms of online harm and ways to effectively help and support their children.

What do you do if online sexual harm happens and how can you respond to an autistic child from the start? This leaflet helps with the following questions:

  • What is online harm?
  • How might autism affect a child’s safety online?
  • How can we help a child to be online safely?
  • How do we talk to a child about online safety?
  • What are the signs of online abuse?
  • How should we respond if something does happen (or has happened)?
