Dundee Protects

Making sure that all the children and young people in Dundee are safe, healthy and happy is everyone's job. It's not just a job for parents, grandparents or other family members. It's not just a job for the people who work with children and families like teachers, doctors, nurses, social workers, youth workers or police officers.

It’s everyone's job!
