Safeguarding is everyone’s business

If you think you or someone you know is being abused or neglected, you should tell an adult you trust.

This could be a parent, carer, family member, teacher or careers adviser. You can speak to any adult you feel comfortable talking to. Ask them to help you report it.

Talking about a problem can often make you feel better, and you shouldn’t feel embarrassed, shy or ashamed.

You can contact your careers adviser in school or college. Alternatively, you can get in touch with an adviser via our Chat service:
Call 01484 213856
Email chat@ckcareers.org.uk
Or use our Facebook messenger service www.facebook.com/CKCareers
