Advice For Children and Young People

Are you a child or young person in the Wrexham area who is being abused either at home or by someone outside your home?

Is someone at home being ill-treated by someone else? Or do you have a friend who needs help because they are being abused?

If so, you can get help in any of these ways:

Ring the Duty Social Worker on 01978 292039 during the day Monday to Friday, or 0845 0533 116 at night and weekends, and tell them what is happening. Or you can e-mail them at cafat@wrexham.gov.uk or emergency.hours@wrexham.gov.uk
In an emergency – such as when someone is being hit or shut out of their home – ring the police on 999
Or you can ring Childline on 0800 1111 or go to www.childline.org.uk.
If you don’t want to talk to someone you don’t know, you can ask an adult that you trust, like a teacher or youth worker or even a friend, to make the phone call for you. When people are working with children they have to follow set procedures, but they will explain to you what they will do and should be able to support you through the process.
Are you already involved in child protection? If so, this leaflet explains what the child protection process is and where you fit in.
