Safeguarding

Safeguarding services protect babies from abuse and maltreatment, and protect the rights of the adults who care for them to live in safety - free from abuse and neglect themselves.

Concerned about a child's safety?

If you're concerned that a child or young person is being (or is at risk of being) abused or neglected, report it.
