Coronavirus, Child Sexual Abuse and Family Safety
Our confidential Stop It Now! helpline is available to anyone with questions or concerns about child sexual abuse and its prevention, including parents and professionals – call 0808 1000 900 (9am-9pm Monday-Thursday, 9am-5pm Friday).
There are videos and guides available from the NSPCC website designed for parents and carers to use with young children to help keep them safe. The Pantosaurus video and The Underwear Rule teaches children that their body belongs to them and they have a right to say no.
Please visit the NSPCC site for more resources. Some of these are also available in Welsh. |
