Safeguarding Information

italk is your local talking therapy service. We help people aged 16+ to recover from common mental health problems like anxiety, depression, phobias, OCD and PTSD. 

P.A.C.E. (Parent and Carer Events) engage families in understanding the needs and difficulties that young people can face. The events help parents and carers to gain more confidence and knowledge about how to manage potential issues or concerns they may have about their young person.

Recognising the importance of linking children’s learning at school and among peers to their life at home, it is recommended you speak to your son/daughter about their safety and behaviour when out with friends. This is also an opportunity to set boundaries and give reassurance that they can speak to you if they ever find themselves affected by any issues or concerns. Children can be victims of anti-social behaviour too.

For young people, self-esteem can be an on-going journey. That’s why we’ve created our conversation guide on how you can bring out the best in a young person you know.

Written by experts, Uniquely Me is a collection of articles and activities that help young people build self-esteem. Each section includes a clear action checklist – including pointers to help you make constructive changes and initiate conversations around subjects that might be affecting them.  

Family hubs are where the Early Help and Prevention team provide some of their support to families, as well as where our behaviour management surgeries and groups are delivered. These used to be called children's centres but we have expanded them to include help for children and young people up to 19 years so we now call them family hubs. 

As part of our Programme to electrify key rail routes across the mainline, the section of railway near your school will be under construction for the installation of the Overhead Line Equipment and be electrified. The safety of people on and around the railway is our priority and education in rail safety is key, especially for young people.

Tips, advice, guides and resources to help keep your child safe online.

Empowering children and young people to build resilience, manage their emotional health and to fulfil their potential.

There are many agencies in Hampshire supporting children and young people, and they all work together as a partnership to ensure they are keeping children safe.

Are you worried about online sexual abuse or the way someone has been communicating with you online?

Since 2006, Thinkuknow has been keeping children and young people safe by providing education about sexual abuse and sexual exploitation.

Thinkuknow is unique. It is underpinned by the latest intelligence about child sex offending from CEOP Command.

Thinkuknow aims to ensure that everyone has access to this practical information – children, young people, their parents and carers and the professionals who work with them.

Our work increasingly focuses on preventing abuse.  So that means we have to do everything we can to understand it and find the best ways to
keep children safe.
