Someone Should Have Told Me is a book for adults to share with children. It uses colourful, fun illustrations and simple statements prefaced by “Someone should have told me…,” to help adults talk to children about potential online and face-to-face dangers.
What the book covers
Key topics covered include:
- children seeing pornography online
- face-to-face and online grooming by predators

- questions to see whether children have understood the key concepts
- information to support adults in their explanations of the potential dangers
