HOW YOU CAN REPORT A CONCERN
If you are worried or concerned about anything, this could be something about you, a family member, a friend or the way an adult is acting or acted towards you, you and your parent/carer should seek to resolve the issue with your club Child Wellbeing and Protection Officer (CWPO).
However, there are a range of people who you can talk to who can help and provide you with the support you need, you can contact us at childrenswellbeing@autismfa.org.uk for more information.
Whoever you report it to, they will listen to you and take your concerns seriously. They may need to report these concerns on to someone else but they will inform you who they are going to tell and why.
It can be daunting telling someone about your concerns but Childline provide some tips on how to build confidence within yourself here or through their YouTube page here.
