For parents and carers

Support for my child

If you are the parent or carer of a child who has suffered as a result of crime, we are here to offer support. Young people and their parents can talk to us in confidence and all of our services are free of charge.

Our aim is to help children and young people aged 10 to 18 to recover from whatever it is they have experienced. Trained, friendly staff will be able to help any young person to move forward and work towards them being able to feel safe again.

You can find out more about the support we offer on our ‘what we do’ page.

Support for parents

If your child has suffered as a result of crime, it is likely that you have been affected as well. Parents often try to remain strong for the sake of their children but seeing your child upset is extremely difficult to deal with.

Depending on the nature of the crime or incident you may need support to come to terms with what has happened to your child. We can provide help and support to family members of children and young people who have been through a traumatic experience.

If you are unsure about what to do for your child or for yourself, please get in touch. We can talk you through the support we can provide and how we can help you and your child move forward.
