If you are a witness of violence, react. If you think that someone is a victim of abuse – be it physical or emotional, make sure you are not indifferent to their suffering. You can take action in different ways - whatever you are comfortable with. One of the options is using a free hotline to ask for advice, or report that you have spotted aggressive behaviour towards a child. These hotlines are run by professionals and are confidential. If you are a victim of abuse, or if you suspect that someone is hurting a child - do not hesitate to call!
Hotlines are open not only to victims of abuse, but also to people who would like to inform the authorities about their suspicions.
· Call 22 668-70-00 – free Blue Hotline for victims of abuse
· Call 0 800 12 12 12 – free hotline run by the Commissioner of Children’s Rights
· Call 116 111 – free hotline run by the Dajemy Dzieciom Siłę foundation.
· Call 112 – universal emergency number
Last weekend we managed to complete a project that we have been working on together with the Polish community living in Scotland for several years. The GOCC Foundation has its own tartan! On Sunday, during a special visit to Scotland, Jerzy Owsiak received a brand new kilt.
