*INSIDE*:
There are lots of reasons why a child or young person might start acting differently. But a change in behaviourcould be a sign that they're at risk. Gangs, sexual exploitation and radicalisation can all be dangers for young people.
Here are some of the possible signs that a child or young person is affected.
"they've become so intolerant of people who think different things to them." "I don't understand why they've got a second mobile phone." "They've been going missing overnight and skipping school - I don't know where they go." "They've become really interested in knives and guns."

Here are some of the possible signs that a child or young person is affected.
"I don't know how they're affording all these new things." "They're always online and have become more secretive about what they're doing." "I've noticed cuts, burns and bruises on them and I've no idea how they got them." "I can't understand why their groups of friends spend so much time in this one place."
