Would you know how to spot the signs that child abuse is happening to a child you know?
Some of the signs to look for include:
▪️ Changes in their behaviour or personality
▪️ Regressive behaviours like bed-wetting
▪️ Trouble sleeping or nightmares
▪️ Enacting sexual behaviours with toys
▪️ Withdrawn and anxious or overly clingy and affectionate
▪️ Change in their eating habits
▪️ Change in their personal hygiene habits
▪️ Using different words for their body parts
▪️ Showing a sexual awareness not age appropriate
Some types of behaviours are normal and age appropriate, but if something triggers a gut feeling that something isn’t right call us on 101 or message us via LiveChat. If it’s an emergency, always dial 999.
