Forming intimate relationships when you’re young can be confusing. If it doesn’t feel right, it might not be. Talk to the pastoral care team at school, or an adult you trust. orlo.uk/BHrmu #16DaysOfAction #areyouok

Unfortunately not all products on the high street comply with safer sleep advice. So, it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the items we wouldn't recommend buying for a baby.

Do you know the signs of #exploitation? Offenders use social media to target and groom young people. We want children to be safe online so it’s important they have someone they can talk to. Visit the D&C Police website for more information #LookSusTellUs soc.devon.cc/nXGgy

#SaferSleepWeek starts today and the theme is Dads! Dads play a key role in the care of their baby, so it’s crucial that they understand how to reduce the risk of SIDS. This year we want to raise awareness of where Dads can access this life-saving safer sleep information.
