Useful Safeguarding Information for Parents
Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse is any type of controlling, bullying, threatening or violent behaviour between people in a relationship. But it isn’t just physical violence – domestic abuse includes emotional, physical, sexual, financial or psychological abuse.
Abusive behaviour can occur in any relationship. It can continue even after the relationship has ended. Both men and women can be abused or abusers.
Domestic abuse can seriously harm children and young people. Witnessing domestic abuse is child abuse, and teenagers can suffer domestic abuse in their relationships.
More information about keeping children safe from domestic abuse can be found here:

If you're an adult experiencing domestic abuse, there are organisations that can help.
Child Exploitation
Child exploitation may be evident through a range of behaviours for example:
• Child sexual exploitation
• Child criminal exploitation, including county lines
• Modern slavery
• Extremism and radicalisation
