We are a Barnardo's Missing and Exploitation service, supporting vulnerable children and young people across Buckinghamshire. We listen, we act, we support.
On International Missing Children’s Day, we are joining forces with @AmberAlertEU in the fight against online grooming
Earlier this month, the song 'Love Birds', secretly containing the five stages of online grooming in its lyrics, was released on TikTok 👀

One-in-eight children aged 5 to 19 in England has at least one mental health disorder and many reach crisis point before receiving treatment. @Barnardos says this is unacceptable. It's vital children get the help they need early, before issues worsen. https://t.co/3VJdrK5TEg

New technologies are exciting but they bring new risks, and the risks don't respect class or background. Shadow Secretary of State for Health @jonashworth listens to @barnardos service user via video ahead of speaking at our #generationdigital#labourpartyconference reception
In the last 30 years, the way we all communicate has evolved. We asked children and adults about how they currently connect and what their predictions are - this is what they said. #GenerationDigital#Lab19
“Our laws and systems must keep pace with technological change so we can protect children on and offline”: @JavedKhanCEO . Today @barnardos publishes its Generation Digital report. https://t.co/bNAxcVipXR
Some of our young carer groups are designed for young people living with a parent with mental health issues, like Megan.
When Megan first met her support worker she was wary and wouldn’t speak to her. Now, Megan's in her twenties - she's been to uni and wants to be a teacher.
Children bullied at school can experience anxiety, which can be even worse for vulnerable young people such as young carers, children in care, and care leavers. We ensure they don’t struggle with their mental health alone.
