Parents & Carers

Making a difference together

The safety and welfare of children - or safeguarding - is everyone's business. You could be a neighbour, friend, parent, relative, childminder, teacher or doctor - or working for any organisation which has contact with children and young people.

Safeguarding means protecting children from physical, emotional, sexual abuse and neglect. It also means helping children to grow up into confident, healthy and happy adults.

Most children generally enjoy a happy childhood experiences within their own family. Unfortunately for some, this is not the case. During difficult family times, everyone who knows the child must do the best they can to keep them safe and protect them from future harm.

This part of the website is about assisting parents, carers or guardians in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

We hope you will find the information useful.

The NSPCC’s Underwear Rule or ‘PANTS’ campaign is coming to Liverpool. Launching on 29 June, this joint campaign with Liverpool Safeguarding Children Board and Liverpool City Council, aims to help keep children safe from sexual abuse by helping parents, carers and professionals talk to children in a fun, sensitive and age appropriate way.
