- We record concerns carefully and review them regularly
Sharing information
If we’re worried that someone is at risk of serious harm, we may share information with social services, the police or other professionals, even without consent. Wherever it’s safe to, we’ll talk to you first.
If you’re worried about someone
If someone is in immediate danger, call 999. If you’re worried about a child, you can contact your local council’s children’s social care team, or the NSPCC helpline on 0808 800 5000. To raise a concern about our service, contact our safeguarding lead.
