For many people things are difficult right now, and that’s why we’re supporting the @NSPCC who are still here for children who need their support now more than ever. If you’re worried about a child, please call their helpline on 0808 800 5000 or you can email help@nspcc.org.uk.

Amazing! @SFH_ChiefAHP @sfhcriticalcare

Dads please don't wait until its to late. Talk to someone if you are finding everything a bit too much. You are not alone and it is not a weakness to ask for help. #dads #DadSquad #notalone #talk #COVID2019

Safeguarding remains everybody’s responsibility. The @SFHSafeguardingTeam are here to support you whenever needed. #thinktheunthinkable

If you're in danger and can't speak there is a #SilentSolution to #MakeYourselfHeard - dial 999 and then 55 so the call operator knows it's a genuine call. You will then be directed to the police call handler who will support you further.

Supporting children’s mental health and wellbeing is a key part of safeguarding children. These 2 websites are both good resources that you can direct children & young people to for support and are updated to include CV. https://t.co/KOfU4tStpj

Information and resources for people who may be struggling with their mental health in these challenging times:

Lockdown for families with young babies can be extra stressful. Take some time to find ways of looking after yourselves. Don't let the stress build up. Talk, walk, sleep and eat as healthy as you can. https://t.co/7ssAh3IE5y #lockdown #icon #covid19 #COVIDSafeguarding

In our second week of #Covid_19 lockdown 9 people, including 2 children are dead in the very place they should have been safe. We cannot ignore these figures, the virus is not the only thing feared by many #COVIDSafeguarding #ambsafeguarding #professionalcuriosity

Thank you #TeamSFHT for all your continued hard work. Keep safe, keep well and remember to self-care however that works for you. #teamNHS #COVIDー19 #coronavirus 4/4

The @SFHSafeguarding team are available to give advice, assist with making referrals, liaising with Social Care, and any other support with safeguarding concerns that you need: extension 3357 or via .net email and mobiles. (Out of hours, speak to the DNM or EDT). 3/4

However, now that day centres, community groups and schools (for most), etc are closed, it is even more important that frontline staff #thinktheunthinkable and consider red flags for vulnerable children and adults at risk of abuse and refer appropriately. 2/4

It is truly awe inspiring to see communities coming together in kindness, and for the appreciation and thanks that #NHSstaff and other frontline workers are receiving. 1/4
