What can I do if I am concerned about children or young people over the holiday period?

School holidays are often a time for children and families to take a break from their daily routines and spend more time together. Relationships are complex and challenging at the best of times, and more time together can sometimes result in more conflict.

As teachers and other professionals engaged in child-related work, many of us will worry about the children we work with over the holiday period.

This guide provides tips and resources for parents, carers and families to support the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people in their care during the school holidays. This includes services to reach out to if more support is needed.

However, if you have immediate concerns relating to the safety, welfare and well-being of a child, or young person, it is important to make a report to the Department of Communities and Justice on 132 111.
