Whilst the children are not in school it would be great if you could talk to them about who is now part of their network , as some people in their network may have been people in school, who currently they are not having contact with.

Text a trustworthy family member or safe adult who may be able to help you

Email one of the Designated Safeguarding Leads at school
Emma Longworth Emma.Longworth@stowevalley.com
Amanda Startup Startup.A@stowevalley.com
Call the police in an emergency (999) or a non emergency (101)
Speak to Young Carers if you are looking after someone at home 02476 217740
Look online at support from the Family Information Service
www.warwickshire.gov.uk/childrenandfamilies
If you feel unsafe or in danger call the council helpline on 01926 414144
*If you are unable to do any of the above because it isn't safe to do so, perhaps you could alert a neighbour or passer by to your situation
