possibly worn brakepads or disks (replace them) or they could be just dirty ( a can of brake cleaner from halfords)

PS this belongs in Helpzone & Mod advice !!!!

brake squeal is normally caused by the back of the pad vibrating against the calliper. You shouls smear copper grease on the back of the pad and idealy use anti squeal shims.
