Support for protecting children from harm

If you are affected by domestic abuse at home or in your own relationships, you can talk to an adult or a local organisation that can support you.

Child abuse is any action by another person, adult or child, that causes significant harm to a child.

Stop the signs, the impact it has on a child or young person's development, adolescent neglect, poverty and neglect in pregnancy.

Find organisations that can give advice and support to keep your child safe online.

The Philomena Protocol helps the police find a child or young person quickly if they go missing. It uses a standard form to record important information about the child in advance. This means officers don’t have to spend time gathering these details and can start searching sooner.
