Parent Info is a collaboration between NCA-CEOP and Parent Zone. Parent Info is a website for parents, covering all of the issues amplified by the internet. 

ParentPort is run by the UK’s media regulators. They set and enforce standards across the media to protect children from inappropriate material.

The website contains information and practical advice on bullying, as well as contact details for the free helpline 0800 169 6928 or you can email via the contact us form. 

A team of specially trained staff operate the confidential telephone helpline and take calls from victims, parents or from people with information about the bullying of children. As well as acting as a listening ear service, the team provides practical advice and can act as  a mediator between the organisation where the bullying is taking place and the parent/carer of the child involved.
