Worried about your safety? What to do

HI!

WELCOME to the Leeds Children Safeguarding Board Website

This page has been put together especially for children and young people like yourselves and may be useful to you or your friends.

It’s important that all children feel safe whether at home, at school or out and about in the local area and most children do.

Sometimes children and young people need help from Professional people like the Police, Teachers, Social Workers, Doctors or Nurses to help them feel safe and happy.

At the end of this page we have listed some telephone numbers (and on our Useful Links page we have some website addresses) where you can get help either by asking questions of adults or by reading the information written for you to read.

How Can You Keep Yourself and Your Friends Safe

• Do not talk to strangers

• Do not take gifts from people you do not know

• Tell someone you trust if someone is making you feel uncomfortable

• Shout loudly if someone is asking you to do something you are not happy about

• Never leave home without telling your parents or the people caring for you where you are going

• If you go out with your friends make sure you stay together even if you fall out

Share this information with your brothers and sisters and your friends and help them keep safe.

Sometimes strangers you meet make you feel unhappy and you should go and tell a trusted family member. But if you are worried about a family member or a friend of the family tell a trusted adult.  This might be someone like a school teacher.  They will believe you.

How Can You Get Advice That Will Help You if You are Unhappy?

If you know an adult that you feel you can trust, tell them that you are unhappy and what’s worrying you. They will know what to do and will help you.

You can ring the Local Children’s Social Care and tell them what you are worried about and they will be able to help you and also help the person who is making you unhappy.

You may want to ring a helpline that is just for Children such as Childline or the NSPCC Helpline. The NSPCC Helpline has a textline for children with hearing difficulties.
