Safeguarding partnerships across Sussex are asking workers with to help spot possible child abuse and neglect this lockdown.

Local authorities and police have joined forces with the NSPCC to encourage workers to take free training to help protect children from abuse.

During the pandemic, young people have spent more time behind closed doors, meaning that some children are at a greater risk of abuse and neglect.

The NSPCC’s 15-minute interactive e-learning course, named ‘It’s your call’ will help workers to recognise the signs of possible child abuse and how to report them.
