Concern about a child
If you are worried about a child or think a child is at risk of harm, report it to the children’s social care team, First Response.
Social care services must protect and promote the welfare of vulnerable children. They offer various services to children and their parents, usually in their own home, coordinated by a social worker.
The First Response team will listen to your concerns and decide what to do next.
For urgent safeguarding concerns call the First Response team: 01296 383 962. Outside of working hours, call the Emergency Duty Team: 0800 999 7677
If you have a safeguarding concern that is not urgent, please use the online form.
Online concerns are monitored only in working hours 9am to 5:30pm Monday to Thursday, 9am to 5pm Friday.
