It is everyone’s responsibility to make sure I am alright ……

“It is everyone’s job to promote the safety and wellbeing of children. Every agency, manager and practitioner that works with children or their families, including services that work primarily with adults, takes responsibility for their contribution to the safety and wellbeing of children, and for responding to any request for help.”
