If someone is treating you in a way, which makes you feel scared or unsafe, this may be abuse.  You can be abused in different ways, not just by being hit.

If an adult or another young person is doing something to you that you don’t feel is right, then you should talk to someone that you feel you can trust.This may be someone in your family, a neighbour or a friend,  a teacher or school nurse.   

Where to go to get help

Going To A Child Protection Meeting

Sometimes the services that work with children and young people hold a meeting to discuss the best way of supporting you and helping to keep you safe. If this is happening to you might find it useful to watch the DVD made by other young people who have gone through this process. It's called "It's All About You"  This short film was made by the Worcestershire Safeguarding Board's Young People's Panel, a group of 12 – 18 year olds who have all attended child protection meetings.
