At Glen Family Centre we take the care, welfare and protection of our children very seriously. We believe all children have a right to feel safe within the school, home and community.
If you have any concerns about any issue about the safety of any child or young person, please do not hesitate to contact the head of centre, Christine Bell, who is the Child Protection Officer for Glen Family Centre. Alternatively, for more information on any aspects of Child Protection, please click on the following link. East Renfrewshire Council Child Protection.
The Scottish Government has launched a website dedicated to supporting everyone worried about child sexual exploitation. With information for children, young people, friends and families, it can only be successful with your help.
The underwear rule is a simple way that parents can help keep their child safe from abuse. Talking PANTS teaches children important messages, like their body belongs to them and they should tell an adult if they’re upset or worried. NSPCC offers further advice.
