Frequently Asked Questions
What if I’m wrong?
If you’re concerned about a child, talk to someone about it.
They may have more information and your bit of information could add
to the bigger picture.
Will they be told that I contacted you?
If you wish to remain anonymous , you can. However it is helpful if
you give your contact details as there might be further information
you could give. The family will not be given your details unless you
agree.
What happens when I phone you?
All referrals are treated seriously. Information systems will be
checked, contact made with other professionals and a visit will be
made to the family to assess the situation.
Will the children be taken away?
Not necessarily. Every effort will be made to keep the family together
where appropriate, however sometimes children do have to be removed
for a period.
Will you let me know what has happened?
You will be advised of the process, but the outcome of an investigation
will remain confidential.
