Child Protection
What happens next?
All information received is treated seriously and will be acted on. This includes:
- checking agency records and gathering information;
- speaking to the child and family and;
- making sure the child is safe.
Where child protection concerns are identified an inter-agency meeting will be held
to decide the best way to protect the child. In a small number of cases, immediate,
emergency action may be necessary to protect the child.
