Everyone is responsible for the protection of children and young people; you have a duty to report your concerns to either the police or Children’s Safeguarding Service. It is not acceptable to ignore a situation where you think a child may be at risk of harm; to do so would be negligent.

For information on who to talk to if you are worried about a child / young person, please view the following page: Are You Worried About a Child or Young Person?
