All children and young people have the right to be safe and to feel safe. If you are a child or young person who doesn’t feel safe, talk to an adult you trust, like a parent, carer, teacher or a friend’s mum or dad. This could be about the way our workers have behaved or if you’re unhappy with the way you’re being treated. You can make a complaint on your own or ask someone to support you to do it.
