Child Abuse: Useful Information & Links

We have produced a useful child abuse booklet called, ‘How you can help if you think a child is being harmed’.  This information will help you to understand what child abuse is and how to get help if you think a child you know is being abused.

 

You can download a copy from this web site (see bottom of this web page) or you can order copies from John Ward on 0114 2734 450 or by emailing John.Ward@sheffield.gov.uk at The Sheffield Safeguarding Children Board, Sheffield.

 

 

 

Also available is The Department of Health's best practice guidance booklet 'What to do if you're worried a child is being abused'.  This publication is targeted at all staff who come into contact with children, parents and families in the course of their work.  This can be viewed in both Summary and Full report versions by using this link to go to the Every Child Matters web site. 

 

Note: You can download a copy of the summary version from this web site (see bottom of this web page).

 

 

 

For your convenience we have included a section about child abuse, types of abuse and the warning signs.
