Concerns about a child

If you think a child may be in danger and in need of protection, find out how to raise a safeguarding concern.

Some children can be at risk of neglect, emotional harm, physical abuse and sexual abuse in any environment including with close family members as well as strangers.

If you are concerned that a child or young person is in an emergency situation you should contact the police urgently on 999.
