Safeguarding

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 talk to 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

How to get advice

If you are a young person, or the parent or carer of a young person, living in Calderdale or Kirklees, you can contact C+K for careers information, advice and guidance.

Additionally, for parents and carers, we have a page on MyDirections which outlines a young person's options at key decision points and which includes information for parents and carers of young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

If you live outside Calderdale and Kirklees and want careers advice, please contact the National Careers Service.

If you are from a school, college or local authority and would like your students to access MyDirections, please click on the button below for more information.
