What is Safeguarding? (Children 0 to 17)

It is everyone's responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people. You should always report your concerns, even if the person you suspect to be abusing or neglecting a child or young person is someone you know well.
If you are being abused or are worried that a child or young person is at risk of being abused or neglected you should contact:
- Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) on 020 8871 6622 (after 5pm on weekdays and at weekends: 020 8871 6000) mash@wandsworth.gov.uk
