If you or anyone in your family are under 18, social care might become involved. This means that you will be given a social worker and they may want to complete an assessment to make sure you’re safe and look at what support you might need.
The outcome of this assessment will depend on what the concerns are. If the social worker is worried about your safety or wellbeing, they may work with you and your family to think about if any changes are needed at home. Meeting with your social worker can really help you feel understood and supported, especially when things get tough or confusing.
The social worker may also speak to someone at your school to make sure they can support you through this situation.
