See Hear Respond

'See Hear Respond' is a service provided across England by Barnardo’s and a group of national and local community-based organisations  in response to COVID-19. We accept referrals for all children and young people under the age of 18 who are not already receiving support from statutory agencies, for example through Child Protection Plans, and especially want to invite referrals for families who are most isolated from support due to COVID-19.

Please visit the 'See Hear Respond' page on the Barnardo's website for more information abou this service.
