Protect your child from sexual abuse

If you have a child with a disability they are at a higher risk of abuse because they may depend on other adults for their care.

You should help your child to be as independent as possible in things such as:

• dressing
• personal hygiene
• going to the toilet
• eating.

If you child takes longer to learn things and to learn about staying safe you can always seek advice and support from professionals if you need it.
