Service Update
Our service is continuing to accept referrals and offer face to face appointments to children and young people during COVID19.
Our workers work with children and young people and their parents/carers to reduce risk around spreading the virus, for instance:
- maintaining 2m distance during sessions
- going for a walk
- meeting in the garden
- checking in before we go on a visit if anyone is experiencing any symptoms or self isolating.
We are able to do sessions over video calls where children and young people and their parents/carers prefer, or it is not appropriate to visit in person.
Are you worried about yourself or someone else during lockdown?
With schools being closed you may feel that there is no one to tell if you are feeling unsafe or scared, or are worried that a friend is feeling unsafe or scared.
But don’t keep it to yourself. Norfolk Safeguarding Children Partnership have developed a text and phone line for you to use during COVID19.
