Reporting Concerns (Parents/ Carers)

Everyone has a responsibility for protecting and safeguarding children, not just the ‘professionals’.

If you suspect or believe a child is suffering or is likely to suffer Significant Harm, including any form of mistreatment or abuse, you should report your concerns.

Emergency

If a child is in immediate danger or left alone, you should contact the police  or call an Ambulance  (Call 999).

The police operator will need to take your name, address and details of what has happened. This will take time, but it is important to get all of the information from you so that we can send the appropriate resources to you if necessary.

Otherwise, always call 24 hours a day, for all non-emergency calls: 0345 045 5203
