Concerned?

If you're worried about your child and think something is not quite right, it's best to be on the safe side and find out more.

Please speak to your child's key worker to raise specific concerns you may have.

There is also a wealth of great advice online, such as the ASK THE AWKWARD website. Please click on this link to find out more on topics such as internet safety, online dating, supporting young LGBTQ people, grooming, nude images online, suspected abuse and many more:
