Our online advice forums are an anonymous space where parents and kinship carers (also known as family and friends carers) can get legal and practical advice, build a support network and learn from other people’s experiences.
Our get help and advice section has template letters, advice sheets and resources about legal and social care processes. On Monday and Wednesday afternoons, you can use our webchat service to chat online to an adviser.
Emotional abuse can occur on its own. But may be experienced as part of other types of abuse. Such as physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect and exploitation.
Children of any age can suffer emotional abuse. And the person responsible for the abuse may be an adult or a child. They may live in the child’s home or live elsewhere.
Emotional abuse can be deliberate. But it can also happen where families are struggling or overwhelmed. Or where parents or carers don’t have the information or help they need to understand or meet their child’s needs.
