Unsafe at Home

Should you feel unsafe in your home environment, you are not alone. There are services in place to support you and your family.

Children First promotes the protection of children from abuse and neglect, by setting out what individuals and organisations need to do to keep children safe, and how to deal with concerns about a child’s safety or welfare. Society has a duty of care towards children, and everyone should be alert to the possibility that children they are in contact with may be abused or at risk of abuse or neglect.

If you are concerned that a child is being abused or neglected, you can access guidance on reporting your concern from Tusla and find the contact details for the social worker in your area. More information on keeping children safe in our communities is available at Item was unpublished or removed

HSE and Tusla have developed a guide for families who have experienced sexual abuse, available at HSE.ie.
