How to Make a Safeguarding Disclosure

Keeping children safe isn’t just about protecting them from physical abuse. It is important to be aware of issues such as bullying, online grooming and harmful sexual behaviour.

If you think a child is at risk of significant harm or want to talk about your concerns about a child or family, you can contact us on 0345 155 1071. Calls are confidential and you can choose to remain anonymous. Our lines are open Monday-Thursday 9am-5pm and Friday 9am-4pm.

If you need help outside of these hours or at weekends or bank holidays, please call our Emergency Duty Service on 0345 6000 388.

If you have concerns that a child or young person is at immediate risk of harm, you should contact the Police on 999.
