Children and young people

We protect, care for and support vulnerable children and young people in the community

Worried about a child?

We all have a responsibility to keep children and young people safe from harm. If you believe a child or young person is at immediate risk of serious harm or injury, or you believe a criminal offence has been committed, call the police on 999.

Child protection

Learn about child protection in Wiltshire. Find resources and advice for both the public and professionals about safeguarding children and young people.

Independent visitor scheme

Independent visitors (IVs) are adult volunteers who provide independent, one-to-one befriending support to children in care. Their role is to "visit, advise and befriend" the young person with whom they are matched.
