Keeping children safe – Child Protection
The protection of children is still a KEY priority and RESPONSIBILITY of everyone through the changing landscape of services necessary to address the COVID-19 spread.
As always, if you are concerned about a child or young person it is important to speak to a professional as soon as possible using the following:
- If you are worried that a child is at immediate risk of harm, phone the Police on 999 without delay
