Do you think you're being abused or in danger of abuse?

If you need help for yourself or for a friend because of abuse or neglect, you should speak to an adult you trust. Teachers, doctors, nurses, social workers and other adults who work with children are responsible for helping to stop abuse. They will listen to what you have to say. Don't be afraid to talk to these people if you are worried. They are there to help you.

However, if you or anyone you know who is under 18 is being abused or neglected, please pick up the phone and ring the following:
