Feeling safe and respected in organisations

Children and young people have the right to be safe and respected wherever they are.

You have the right to be safe, to feel safe and be respected wherever you are and whatever you do — at sport, clubs, churches, in out-of-home care, residential care, schools — everywhere!

The information on this page is especially for you. Remember, if you don't feel safe, tell someone you trust.

Making complaints can be hard for children and young people but it is important so people can learn and so mistakes can be corrected.
