If you are worried about a child's wellbeing, there are different ways of getting help depending on what you need.
Worried about a child
If you need urgent help, visit our Get help or report abuse webpage.
What to do if you are a parent or carer
The NSSCP works with partners across North Somerset to get you the support you need.
Understanding what child abuse is and how to prevent it is the crucial first step in ensuring the safety of children.
Early Help
Early Help means using the community of support around your family to make sure small problems don't become big problems. It's a way for families, children and young people to get help as early as possible.
SEND Local Offer
North Somerset Council’s SEND Hub (Local Offer) provides information and support for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) people aged 0-25. The hub has lots of useful guidance and a dedicated area for supporting parents and carers.
You also have access to help around the clock through North Somerset Children’s Services, Care Connect, the Emergency Duty Team, the police and our integrated care board.
