For more information on keeping children safe, the NSPCC website is particularly useful resource with lots of information, guidance and advice on e-safety and keeping children safe. Their 'Talking Pants' page teaches children important message, like their body belongs to them and they should tell an adult if they are worried or upset.

Those coming into contact with families all have a responsibility towards identifying emerging needs as early as possible and responding to them.
