Child Protection

What do I do if I am concerned?

If you are concerned about a child speak to someone. This might be a health visitor, nursery staff, teacher, family doctor, social worker, police officer or children's reporter.

Make sure you:

  • Act promptly
  • Give as much information as you know about the child and family

If the child is at risk of abuse this information will need to be shared with other agencies.

If you do not share your concerns a child may be harmed.
