Safeguarding children is defined in Working together to safeguard children as:

protecting children from maltreatment

preventing impairment of children’s health or development

ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care

taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes

All adults in our community share a responsibility to make sure children are not at risk of harm. Occasionally a parent or other adult becomes concerned about something that they hear, see or know about another family or child. If you have a child protection or safeguarding concern about a child it is important that you contact Hampshire Children’s Services as a matter of urgency. All calls by members of the public are treated in confidence.
