Met: no-one should be suffering and be unheard
The app was developed with support from the Metropolitan Police Child Abuse Command.
Detective Superintendent Reg Hooke said he would "commend it to all young people and professionals who work with the young."
He said: "It recognises that often their best and most immediate support comes from friends and others who see them every day.
"In this day and age, with our level of social networking and communication, no one should be suffering and be unheard and the app gives another voice to young people."
