For many people things are difficult right now, and that’s why we’re supporting the @NSPCC who are still here for children who need their support now more than ever. If you’re worried about a child, please call their helpline on 0808 800 5000 or you can email help@nspcc.org.uk.

Amazing! @SFH_ChiefAHP @sfhcriticalcare

If you're in danger and can't speak there is a #SilentSolution to #MakeYourselfHeard - dial 999 and then 55 so the call operator knows it's a genuine call. You will then be directed to the police call handler who will support you further.

Lockdown for families with young babies can be extra stressful. Take some time to find ways of looking after yourselves. Don't let the stress build up. Talk, walk, sleep and eat as healthy as you can. iconcope.org #lockdown #icon #covid19 #COVIDSafeguarding

Right now a supportive phone call or text message could make a big difference. Visit iconcope.org for support and ways of coping if you are finding it hard right now. #dads #isolationlife #support #SideEffectsOfQuarantineLife

In our second week of #Covid_19 lockdown 9 people, including 2 children are dead in the very place they should have been safe. We cannot ignore these figures, the virus is not the only thing feared by many #COVIDSafeguarding #ambsafeguarding #professionalcuriosity
