Child and Youth Safety

Report Concerns and Complaints

All children and young people have the right to be safe and feel safe.

Anybody who has seen an Inland Fisheries Service staff member behave in a way that causes concern can report it:

Concerning behaviour could include physical violence, sexual misconduct, sexual offences, grooming or other reportable conduct committed against, or in the presence of, children and young people.
