Children can abuse other children.

Child on Child abuse is any form of physical, sexual or emotional abuse.

Child on Child abuse can take many forms, including serious bullying (including online-bullying), relationship abuse, domestic violence and abuse, child sexual exploitation, youth and serious youth violence, harmful sexual behaviour and/or prejudice-based violence including, but not limited to, gender-based violence.

Online Child on Child abuse is any form of Child-on-Child abuse using online communications such as social media. For example, sending nude or semi-nude images, sending abusive messages, pressure and exploitation, peer-on-peer grooming, using threatening language delivered via online means, the distribution of sexualised content and harassment.

Child on Child abuse is taken as seriously as abuse of children by adults.

At Sidney Stringer Academy we want students to feel happy and safe. We recognise that talking about personal things may be embarrassing, but you will be treated with respect and your information will be kept confidential and only shared with people that need to know.

If something is happening to you which makes you feel uncomfortable or scared and you need support, or just want to talk to someone, you are free to contact any member of staff you feel comfortable talking to. Alternatively, please feel free to click the Keep Me Safe button located under the Sidney Stringer Academy Logo. The account will be checked on a daily basis during school working hours. This website also includes a number of links at the bottom of each page as well as a Other Support page if you feel you are not ready or able to talk to someone in person.
