‘Key to child safety is communication’

GOOD communication is the key to keeping a young child safe, a child expert stressed yesterday.

“If children are worried about something they need to feel they can talk about it with their parents without being told off,” said ISPCC officer, Tess Noonan.

“Even very young children need to know that it is their parent or childminder who is there to help them when they are upset,” she said.
