Child Protection
Information for parents and carers
Children and young people have a right to be protected and be safe from harm from
others. We all have a responsibility to make sure that all our children live safely.
Families, neighbours, professionals and members of communities play a vital role
in protecting children. Most children in our society grow up in a safe protected
environment, but sadly some do not, and need extra help from adults to keep them
safe.
If you and your child are or have recently been involved in a child protection investigation
you may be feeling worried or confused. You might find it useful to speak to someone
such as a social worker or a health visitor. Agencies are there to try and make
sure your child is safe and support you where possible to ensure this.
The
'Information for parents and carers whose children are involved in child protection
investigations' leaflet will provide information for you or your family if
you involved in child protection processes, or if you want to read more about what
happens if you become involved
