Reporting guide · Philippines

Report a concern.

You don’t have to handle this alone. Start with one clear step.

  1. 01

    Be their safe place

    Stay calm. Listen without blame. Help the child feel safe and supported.

  2. 02

    Reach out for help

    Contact the right service below. You don’t need a complete file to ask for help.

  3. 03

    Keep the key details

    Note usernames, links and dates. Save non-explicit messages; don’t delete the account.

  4. 04

    Stay beside them

    Keep the case reference. Follow official advice and check in with the child.

“Thank you for telling me. This isn’t your fault. I’m here to help.”

Who to contact
