Abuse
If you are worried that you or
someone you know is being abused, then talk to someone you trust
straight away. This could be a parent, a friend's parent, a youth
worker, a teacher or a school nurse.
Child Abuse is when a young
person is harmed or not properly cared for and there is a number of
ways in which a young person can be abused. No one deserves to be
abused and abuse can be stopped. Here are some useful contacts where
you can get help and advice.
