Concerned about a child?

If you are a member of the public concerned about a child, you can find information about how to report concerns to councils.  

The NSPCC helpline has dedicated child protection specialists who are able to advise and take any necessary action regarding concerns about a child’s safety or wellbeing.

If you think a child or young person needs some support, Childline is the UK’s free, 24-hour service for children and young people. Run by the NSPCC, Childline gives children and young people up to the age of 19 confidential support with whatever is worrying them.

If you believe a child is at immediate risk of harm, call 999.
