Safeguarding Statement

I am concerned about a child 

Safeguarding Children means protecting children and young people from harm or abuse so they can grow and develop into happy and healthy children.

Child abuse can take many forms, it can be physical, emotional, sexual or through neglect (not meeting the child’s physical or emotional needs). 

• If a child or young person is in immediate danger, call 999. 

• If you’re worried that a child is being abused or neglected, contact Slough Children First  

• NSPCC offers free advice and information by phone: 0808 800 5000. The service is available 24 hours a day. 

I am concerned about an adult 

• If you are concerned about an adult who may be at risk of abuse, harm or neglect, you can report it to Slough Adult Social Care Services
