 The Department for Education’s campaign help tackle child abuse will be running from 12 March with a range or news stories and promotion across the media and social media sites such as this short video.
The key call-to-action for the campaign is to get the public to visit www.gov.uk/tacklechildabuse, where they can enter their postcode to contact their local council and report.
A range of material is available that organisations can use to raise awareness of the campaign. Please visit the campaign site to access, use and share the new materials.

identified via the referral process
