Sometimes you can't explain it. You just know something doesn't feel right.
Perhaps your child has become more secretive. Their friendship group has changed. They're spending time with new or older people. You've noticed changes in their behaviour, mood or relationship with their phone.
There could be many explanations for these changes, and one sign alone doesn't necessarily mean a young person is being exploited.
But you don't need proof before asking for help.
If you're worried about a child or young person, starting a conversation and asking for advice can be an important first step.
At Safe and Sound, we're here to listen, understand what's happening and help you work out what support might be needed.
