You can report this to any member of staff who will take appropriate action. You will probably not be involved in this action after you report the concern.

If you suspect or learn that a trainee is facing serious personal challenges or abuse outside of CYF, please tell a staff member. For example, if a trainee tells you about partner abuse. Or, if you believe they’re being financially exploited by someone.

<summary>How to Share Your Concern</summary>
77+
78+
1. **Write down what you observed or learned**, especially if it’s from a conversation. Try to use the other person’s words where possible.
79+
2. **Tell a CYF Staff Member**: They will then take appropriate action.
80+
* We may not include you in the actions after reporting.
81+
* If you're hesitant, you can first share your concerns without naming the affected individual.
82+
83+
**Important Points to Remember**
84+
85+
* No Penalties for Trainees: CYF does not penalise trainees experiencing problems.
86+
* Access to Support: CYF can share a list of organizations experienced in addressing various challenges.
87+
* If in doubt, it's better to share your concern. It's better to ask if someone needs help and be told no, than to not ask when someone does need help.

If you are facing serious personal challenges, you can visit [the signpost directory of organisations for help](https://signposts.codeyourfuture.io/). Or, you can tell a CYF staff member.
