When to Report

Please seek advice or make a report if you are concerned about:

• Neglect or abuse
• Domestic abuse within the home
• Child exploitation
• Online safety concerns
• Serious mental health concerns
• A child being left without appropriate care or supervision
• Any situation where a child's safety or wellbeing may be at risk

Remember: If in doubt, report your concern. It is always better to share a concern than to assume someone else will do so. If a child is in immediate danger, call 999 without delay.
