Improving help and child protection : revised framework (Children and young person's version)

Overview

We're seeking views on how children can access support and stay safe, and how the adults supporting them can work together more effectively.

Why your views matter

We’d like to hear your views on how children can be kept safe and supported.

This includes ideas on how to:

  • Help families access support earlier
  • Improve how adults who support children, such as teachers, police officers and doctors work together
  • Support adults to make informed decisions that keep children safe

We want to hear from children and young people, families, and anyone who works with or supports children and their families.

Your feedback will help us understand what is working well and where changes may be needed.
