Together we can keep children, young people and adults safe

It is now more important than ever that we look out for each other, I am pleased to see that Welsh Government has launched a new campaign to encourage people to contact social services if they are worried that a family member, friend or neighbour who is at risk of abuse, neglect and harm.

Protecting our communities from abuse and violence is vitally important and a priority of both my office and Gwent Police. I urge communities to be aware and understand how they can help if they suspect anyone is at risk or in danger.

We are lucky here in Gwent to have a wide range of services on hand to help.

Safe Help website https://gov.wales/safe-help/keeping-people-safe  has more information about local social services and how to raise your concerns. If your call is more urgent dial 101, or in emergency call 999

Gwent Safeguarding website also provides comprehensive information and advice for residents and professionals on a range of issues
