Recognise child abuse

Overview

Children deserve a safe, harm-free upbringing. It's essential to recognise and act against behaviours that endanger their welfare. 

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. You must:

  • be alert: know the signs of harm and abuse including neglect
  • act quickly: timely action can make a big difference in a child's life
  • stay informed: learn about local safeguarding policies and procedures

We follow the London Safeguarding Children Partnership’s child protection procedures.
