Basic Safeguarding Information
NEVER try to deal with a welfare or safeguarding concern yourself. In an emergency, if you feel that a child is in immediate harm or danger, then you MUST consult with the Police in the first instance on either 999 or 101. Do not assume that someone else is dealing with it.
Other appropriate agencies you can contact are:
Children’s Services
Local Authority Adult Safeguarding Team
Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH)
Local Authority Designated officer (LADO)
