Are you concerned about a child?
If you have concerns about a child, it is important that you take action. The Kent Safeguarding Children Board website give details on how to act on your concerns.
You can also call Kent Social Services at the County Contact Centre any time of the day or night, any day of the week on 08458 247 100.
Are you being abused or in danger of abuse?
If you need help for yourself or for a friend because of abuse or neglect, you should speak to an adult you trust.
You have the right to proper care and should not be abused by anyone. For example, if someone hurts you or touches you in ways you don't like, it is very important that you tell someone you trust.
Teachers, doctors, nurses, social workers and other adults who work with children are responsible for helping to stop abuse. They will listen to what you have to say and will work with other professionals to protect you from abuse and neglect. Don't be afraid to talk to these people if you are worried. They are there to help you.
Further information is available on the Kent Safeguarding Children Board website.
