If you see distressing or harmful content online – here’s what to do:
Following recent tragic events in Sydney Australia, you may come across violent or distressing material online.
Online spaces should be safe for everyone. If you encounter harmful content:
❌Don’t share it further – even if your intention is to help or raise awareness, sharing can amplify harm and cause distress to others.
❗Report it to the platform – use in-app tools to help get it removed quickly.
👉If it’s not removed or is seriously harmful, report it to Netsafe
at netsafe.org.nz/report.
🚨If someone is in immediate danger, call 111 right away. 🚨
Your actions could protect you and others from seeing that content again. Find more guidance and information on our website.
👉 https://netsafe.org.nz/.../what-to-do-if-you-see...
Online platforms have a duty to keep people safe. That means putting clear content warnings and labels in place so children, and anyone who doesn’t want to see distressing material, can avoid it. It also means acting fast to remove or restrict illegal and harmful content.
Parents and carers, take extra precautions to protect children from harmful content:
✅Agree family tech rules.
✅Use parental controls and filters.
✅Talk early and often about what to do if they see upsetting material.
If you or someone you know is struggling after seeing distressing content:
Book a free in person or phone appointment with the Health Improvement Practitioner Tessa at Mangere Health Centre by calling the clinic on 092550600
