Making sure that all the children and young people in Dundee are safe, healthy and happy is everyone's job. It's not a job just for parents, grandparents or other family members. It's not a job just for the people who work with children and families like teachers, doctors, nurses, social workers, youth workers or police officers.
It's Everyones Job!
Remember - Doing nothing might mean that the child or young person will suffer even more harm. Doing something can mean that a child or young person is safe and can be happy in his or her own home. What everyone wants is for children to be cared for safely at home. Sometimes it needs other people to get involved to help sort out problems and make sure it can happen. You can do something to help. If you see behaviour that is of concern, or if a child or young person tells you something, you need to take them seriously, do something about it, and speak to someone. This could be a teacher, a doctor, a health visitor (available through your local surgery or health centre), a social worker, a youth worker, a police officer or nursery staff. Telephone numbers are (01382) unless otherwise stated. |
