If you have any concerns about your own or someone else’s welfare or safety, you must report it. It is better to tell someone, rather than failing to tell anyone and you or the person you are worried about possibly being exposed to further risk of harm.
Please see our Mental Health section page on our website that has useful links and resources
If you need to talk to someone or access information and resources over a weekend or break, hopefully some of these will be of help to you. There is also a section with advice for parents if they need signposting to some links and organisations as well.
