Safeguarding
Shine is a career platform for young people. It is not a crisis service and does not replace the safeguarding duties of schools, colleges, councils or Jobcentres.
What Shine does and does not do
Shine helps young people explore careers, build CVs and find opportunities. It does not monitor young people, offer counselling, or act as a reporting service for abuse or emergencies.
If a young person is in immediate danger, call 999.
