Expert Advice

Many of the issues in child protection are very sensitive and you may not know who is best to turn to for advice or are worried about sharing your concerns with a senior colleague. You should in this case either contact the BYAFA Welfare Officer, BAFA Child Protection Officer, the Social Services direct or phone either the NSPCC (0808 800 5000) or Childline (0800 1111).
