What to do if you have a concern

Safeguarding children is everyone’s responsibility

Safeguarding is about making people aware of their rights, protecting them and preventing abuse. Every child can be hurt, put at risk of harm or abused, regardless of their age, gender, religion or ethnicity. We believe that everyone has a responsibility for safeguarding children and young people and keeping them safe from harm.

If you have an urgent safeguarding concern call: 0345 155 1071
