What happens when I say...

Speaking up about sexual abuse or exploitation can be upsetting and scary. We understand that you want the abuse to stop. We also understand that you might be worried about what might happen after you tell somebody. This is normal and it’s okay to feel like this.

Support the campaign

Tackling child sexual exploitation and abuse is everyone’s responsibility. We need young people, parents and professionals across York to read and share the information on this website.

Who we are

The "It’s not okay" campaign has been organised by City of York Safeguarding Children Board (a group of organisations in York which help support children and young people, including City of York Council, North Yorkshire Police and health partners) and the NSPCC
