Indecent Images of Children Campaign

Looking at indecent images of children is a crime. Anyone who is caught looking at indecent images of someone under the age of 18 years-old will be placed on the sex offenders register.

As well as sentences handed down in court this can result in the following consequences for the offender –

• Social care referrals for any children they have access to.
• Potential breakdowns in relationships with wife/husband/partner and abandonment of friendships
• Disclosure to work, clubs and organisations they are involved in and potential loss of employment.
• Social stigma, social isolation and mental illness

If you are concerned about your own behaviour or that of someone you know, there is help and support available from a number of charities and not for profit organisations, including the Lucy Faithfull Foundation and NSPCC.
