We all have a role to play in making sure children are safe and surrounded by people who care. If you are worried that a child or young person is not being well cared for, you might feel unsure about whether to let someone know.
Don't be afraid of getting it wrong, trust your instincts. If you are worried that a child is being hurt or that they're not being well looked after, don't just hope someone else will speak up, tell someone yourself.
Children cannot speak up for themselves and the people involved may be too ashamed, distressed or caught up in the situation to ask for help.
There might be times when you're worried and don't know how to help, or the family refuses your offer of support. There are groups you can call to ask for advice, share your worries and give support. They can help with things like parenting and other issues.
