Worried about a child?
Maybe you have noticed bruising, a child looking withdrawn or a child who looks uncared for and unkempt. Relatives, neighbours and members of the public as well as professionals all have a responsibility to take action if the safety or welfare of a child causes concern.
Maybe you are a parent who is struggling and need some advice and help. You can contact our Children and Families Duty Team who may offer you direct help or can put you in touch with other services that can help.
You can contact the Children and Families Duty Team on 01325 346867 during office hours.
If you have serious concerns about a child’s safety out of office hours contact the Emergency Duty Team on 08702 528727
