Domestic abuse is a largely hidden crime and it is vital that key workers who continue to have contact with families, from delivery drivers to retail staff, are supported with the necessary guidance about spotting signs of abuse and know where to raise concerns.
Pictured: “We all need to be aware of children…who may be trapped in abusive homes.”
We all need to be aware of children in our communities who may be trapped in abusive homes and be ready to reach out to the NSPCC or the authorities if we are concerned for their safety or wellbeing.
Anyone with any concerns about the welfare of a child can contact the NSPCC’s free and confidential helpline on 0808 800 5000 or visit nspcc.org.uk for advice.
