Safeguarding information for parents and carers

Children of any age can experience problems at times and parents or carers can’t always meet their needs by themselves.

When children require some extra support it’s always best to put help in place as soon as it is needed before things get worse.

Throughout your child’s life there are people around who you can go to for advice, guidance and support such as:

• midwives
• health visitors
• GPs
• children centre workers
• nursery workers
• teachers
