Children and Young People may be hurt by an adult or another young person in many ways.
Abuse can be any of the following:
Physical Injury - being hit, kicked or punched.
Physical Neglect - not being properly fed or clothed, or cared for.
Sexual Abuse - inappropriate sexual behaviour or language.
Emotional Abuse - constantly criticised, ignored or humiliated.
If something is worrying you or making you scared and you're not sure if it's abuse, talk to someone you trust.
