NSPCC InCtrl - Family support services

What we do

InCtrl is a service that is designed to help keep children aged 9- to 13-years-old safe online to prevent technology-assisted child sexual abuse (TA-CSA). We support children and young people to build digital resilience by helping them recognise the risks they encounter online, promoting their emotional wellbeing and strengthening the supports around them.

InCtrl is a face-to-face group-based programme that helps increase children’s digital resilience, improve their emotional wellbeing and ensure they have effective social and family support networks to help keep them safe.

The groups are made up of 3 to 8 participants. We develop a clear group agreement to make sure children and young people are comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings about topics such as consent, online safety, healthy relationships and self-esteem. The content of the group work is designed to complement curriculum guidance on relationships in all UK nations.

Is there a charge to use this service?

Can anyone use this service?

When a referral is made, our practitioners will first make sure the programme is appropriate for the child’s needs. We involve the child’s parents or carers at the outset to ensure they have an understanding of what the programme involves and can help support the child throughout the process.
