Police in Edinburgh have released some educational videos about the dangers of ‘nude selfies.’

These films have been created  at the National Crime Agencies Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre as part of their campaign, ‘NUDE SELFIES: What Parents and Carers Need to Know

 

The films aim to help parents and carers understand young people’s motivations for sending nude selfies, plan to respond positively and constructively to an incident in which their child has shared a nude selfie, gain confidence and skills in initiating preventative conversations, identify risky behaviours or situations and know where to seek help and  kow how to get help if a child is at risk after sharing an image.
