Abuse thrives on secrecy.

It is crucial that all professionals and organisations discuss concerns relating to abuse. The government used the title "No Secrets" for good reason. For abuse to be stopped then information must be shared. We cannot keep secrets. Many victims of abuse may find it difficult to disclose information but they must be encouraged to speak to someone that they can trust. Abusers don't want to be stopped but by sharing our concerns we can protect vulnerable people from further harm.
