Children and young people have the right to be kept safe from harm and protecting children is everyone’s responsibility. We are committed to making sure that children are kept safe from harm. This includes supporting parents and carer’s and helping them to understand their children’s well-being and needs.

We have a team of nurses who specialise in safeguarding children. The Safeguarding Team do not work directly with children but do offer support and guidance to all front-line health workers and, where it is necessary, communicate and share information other agencies and professionals to make sure children’s needs are always placed first and to make sure children are able to meet their full potential.

Further sources of information and help

We also have a wide range of information, contact details, and sources of free help; including local community groups in the Hounslow area, and national charities. Please feel free to share these with anyone you know who may be in need:
