Safeguarding Children

Keeping children safe is everyone’s responsibility. What should you do if you think a child is being abused or harmed – take action straight away. The longer abuse or harm goes on, the longer it will take for a child to recover.

If you have concerns about a child, help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week:
