When child protection workers visit - Information for young people
This fact sheet explains why a child protection worker may visit, what happens during the first visit (including that workers will listen to what you say), and that you can choose not to talk, but the report will still be investigated.
It also covers what may happen next if Child Protection is concerned about your safety or wellbeing, how your information is used, and your rights to support, complaints, and legal options if you disagree with a decision.
