You can tell us about a child, young person or parent/carer that needs support in some way. This could be about the child's developmental needs, issues that the parent/carer is experiencing, or if you suspect a child is being neglected or subjected to physical, sexual, or emotional abuse.
You can:
- call us on 020 8770 6001 between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday
- or call the out of hours or weekend duty team on 020 8770 5000
If you are a member of the public, we will require basic information from you:
- name
- address
- details of the child that you have concerns about and the concerns
This information is taken to help our specialist safeguarding team make enquiries, and contact you again if necessary. Information you supply is held in the strictest of confidence and not disclosed to any party; including those connected to the child you have concerns about.
