Positive parenting

We know how challenging it can be to balance all the demands parents and carers have to cope with. That’s why the NSPCC have put together some tips to help. All children need boundaries and discipline, and this guide helps you develop what works for you and your child.

Worried about a child?

Whether a child tells you they are being abused or you have concerns based on other signs,
such as their behaviour, it’s important to act on your concerns. Trust your judgement and don’t wait until you’re certain.
