Staying safe

Speak to an adult you trust

If you feel unsafe or at risk of harm please speak to an adult you trust. If you tell an adult about abuse or neglect they will need to share this information with others if they think you are ‘at risk of harm’. This is to make sure that you are safe and get the support you need. But this is shared in a confidential way. The Calderdale Safegaurding Children website will give you more information about what to do.

You can also call the national Childline free on – Phone: 0800 1111
