Children's Day has arrived and alongside the events and special parties comes a message we also need to protect them.
The theme for this year is "Treasure our Children".
Victim support service Shine hopes people will remember those children who don't feel treasured and live in a world of fear and uncertainty.
Services Director Jill Proudfoot says every child should grow up in a safe home, and the community has a role in that.
"Quite often neighbours know a lot that's going on but they don't know quite what to do for the best."
