Keeping your child safe
Keeping Your Teen Safe in Today's World
Navigating your child's safety is one of the most important parts of being a parent, especially as they enter their teenage years. In today's world, the threats children face extend far beyond the playground, they're complex and can feel overwhelming, spanning everything from online risks and cyberbullying to dangers they might encounter in the community.
We want you to feel confident and empowered to protect your teen. We know you can't be everywhere at once, but you can be informed and supported.
That's where we come in. Sandwell Family Hubs offers a crucial network of guidance and support. We're here to help you understand these evolving risks and give you the practical steps and resources you need to keep your child safe, both on and offline.
Harm Outside the Home
As children get older and gain more independence, they spend more time in the community, and it's important for parents and carers to be aware of the risks they might encounter.
