Under Pressure Campaign
All parents and carers know that bringing up children is really hard work.
After a difficult couple of years, winter has brought yet more challenges with increased living costs putting families under greater stresses and pressures.If you鈥檙e struggling to look after your children it鈥檚 ok to ask for help and support. There are people and places who can offer a helping hand, and it鈥檚 always better to ask for help than let things get worse. Talk to a friend, a neighbour or someone else you trust, like a health visitor, a community worker or teacher. Or if you鈥檙e a neighbour, a friend or family member who can see that a parent is struggling, offer to help.
If you鈥檙e worried about neglect or abuse
If you鈥檙e concerned that a child is being neglected, abused or harmed you need to report it.
Report concerns to the social work department on 01546 605517 or Police on 101. If someone is in immediate danger call 999.
