Online Safety – Removal of Indecent Photographs
Report Remove is here to help young people under 18 in the UK to confidentially report sexual images and videos of themselves and remove them from the internet.
How report remove works
Having your nudes shared can feel scary, and it can leave you feeling worried or even ashamed. But it’s not your fault.
It’s against the law for anyone to share a sexual image or video of someone who’s under 18, and we’re working with the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and Yoti to help you remove any sexual image or video of you that’s online.
Report Remove is safe, easy and free – all you need to do is follow these steps:
- choose your age range
- create a Childline account so we can send you updates on your report
- report your image or video to the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF)
- talk to a Childline counsellor if you want any extra support, or access support on the Childline website
- check your Childline locker a few days after your report to see if you need to add any more information and to see updates on your report
- report any issues with this process by sending an email from your Childline locker with the subject ‘Report Remove’ and as much information about the problem as you can.
Here is a link to report a remove via the Child Line website, and also a YouTube step-by-step:

Consultation Proposal for Oakfield School
Oakfield School currently educates up to 110 pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties. Hull, like many local authorities, is experiencing a rise in pupil numbers and there is a need to create additional school places.
The proposal is to increase maximum pupil numbers of Oakfield School from 110 to 130, an increase of 20 places. The proposal is in line with the recently published SEND Sufficiency Assessment, which notes the shortage of secondary SEMH specialist places in Hull. The LA and the Governing Body have identified the commissioning intent to fill the additional places
This consultation form seeks your views on whether you support this proposed increase in the numbers of pupils at the school.
This consultation will remain open until Friday 13th October 2023. Please complete this form and return it to the Oakfield School reception. Alternatively you can email your comments to admin@oakfieldhull.co.uk
Oakfield will be hosting an Open Evenings for the parents/carers of years 5 and 6 pupils. Oakfield is the specialist secondary school for students with an EHCP for social, emotional and mental health needs. This will give the families/carers and students the opportunity to look around the school and ask any questions they may have.
If they require any further information, they are welcome to contact the school.
The opening evenings will be held on Thursday 28th September 2023 and Tuesday 10th October 2023 from 16.00 – 17.00 at
