Samaritans are a registered charity that provide emotional support, dedicated to reducing feelings of isolation and disconnection that can lead to suicide.
The Family information Service gives families the information and resources they need to help their family life run a little smoother. They can help with anything and everything to do with family life, whether that's something for parents or something for children and young people. They are a free, universal service.
If you are aware that a child or adult could be at risk of or is being abused or neglected it is important that you let the right people know so that the right help can be given to the child and their family.
