Youth NCDII: A guide for schools
This guide supports school personnel in responding to incidents involving the non-consensual distribution of intimate images (NCDII) with approaches that prioritize student safety, dignity, and well-being. Updated from the former Self/Peer Exploitation: Resource Guide for Schools, it provides practical guidance for reducing harm, responding to complex situations with care, supporting families, and helping schools address and challenge the normalization of image sharing among youth.
Supporting Youth in Navigating Online Harm and Digital Safety
As young people increasingly engage in digital spaces, educators play an important role in helping students build safe, healthy, and informed online practices. Created by the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, Youth NCDII: A guide for schools is a Canadian resource designed to support youth impacted by the sharing of intimate images, sextortion, online exploitation, and other forms of online harm.
This resource provides practical guidance, conversation supports, and pathways to assistance for students and trusted adults. It helps young people understand steps they can take, access support services, and know they are not alone when facing difficult online situations. The resource can also help educators strengthen conversations around digital citizenship, consent, online relationships, and student well-being.
Educators may find this resource particularly valuable for middle and high school learning environments where discussions around digital literacy, online safety, and healthy relationships are taking place. Youth NCDII: A guide for schools emphasizes supportive, trauma-informed approaches and encourages youth to seek help from trusted adults.
