Background

What happens in the home is a key driver of school experiences and attainment, and influences choices and outcomes. Keeping children safe from emotional and physical harm, tackling child poverty and supporting families will relieve pressure across the system and enable children to learn and thrive. This also contributes to the Safe Streets mission. We are interested in all types of safety including safeguarding at home and in care and online safety.
