When to worry about a child
It's not always obvious when a child is being abused. There may be specific signs or your instinct may tell you something is wrong. Our experts can use these indicators to assess how at risk a child is, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant your concern. Below are some of the more common issues and signs.
Behavioural issues
The way a child behaves tell us a lot about their well-being. Find out whether their behaviour suggests they are being harmed.
Family relationships
Family relationships are crucial - but what indictates a healthy or an unhealthy family relationship?
Home environment
Look for indicators that suggest that there are problems in a child's home environment.
Physical appearance
A child's physical appearance may suggest how well they are - or aren't - being looked after.
