Our lives with COVID-19 and what next
The coronavirus lockdown has had a profound effect on all our children and young people, so we have refocused our priorities to ensure that support is available to help as we recover.
The coronavirus lockdown has had a profound effect on all our children and young people, so we have refocused our priorities to ensure that support is available to help as we recover.
We want to improve the way this system works, and to strengthen our partnership with schools, health, the police and others to ensure no child at risk slips through the net.
Every child and young person has the right to feel safe, be protected from neglect, and free from the exploitation of others
All children and young people deserve to be healthy and happy. Good physical and emotional health plays an important part in helping them to live a fulfilled life. For most children, the family and community ensure their health and wellbeing.
We want all children in Devon to have the best start in life and, as they grow into young adults, to have access to opportunities for training, education, employment and apprenticeships to help them gain the skills they need to become independent and thrive.
If you are concerned that a child is being abused please call
