Safeguarding concern, what to do

If you think a child is in immediate danger, call the police by dialling 999.

The welfare of young people and vulnerable adults is of paramount concern. However it is not up to you/us to decide whether or not a child has been abused. We have a duty to take the concerns seriously and report appropriately.
