Safeguarding Children
As a charity that supports families, parents and children we are committed to providing a safe and secure environment for children and vulnerable adults. We do this by helping to ensure any child or vulnerable adult we meet is not subject to physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect.
If you would like help around child safeguarding or would like to report actual or suspected child abuse please visit Wigan Council’s website below:
