If You Are Worried

Abuse (physical, sexual, emotional) or neglect can have a damaging effect on a child’s physical and mental health, educational attainment and emotional well-being.  Some changes in a child’s behaviour may not necessarily indicate that a child is suffering abuse or neglect. In some cases those changes may be symptoms of a hidden disability, undiagnosed medical condition or a change in medication.

If you become concerned about:

• Comments made by a child
• Marks or bruising on a child
• Changes in a child’s behaviour
• Changes in a child’s appearance

Please report these concerns to one of our Safeguarding Leads.

County Lines

County lines is a form of criminal exploitation. It is when criminals befriend children, either online of offline, and then manipulate them into drug dealing.
