Reporting Concerns

If you, or someone you know is at risk of any form of abuse, please tell someone. You can do this by:

• Contacting Family Connect on 01952 385385 Option 1 from 9am - 5pm, Monday to Friday;
• Contacting the Emergency Duty Team on 01952 676500 after 5pm, Monday to Friday, and 24 hours during weekends and Bank Holidays.

If it is an emergency or there is a threat of immediate danger, always dial 999.

Further information on how to report abuse can be found on the Family Connect website.

If you are unsure the West Midlands Regional Safeguarding Procedures Manual will be able to help guide you or the Threshold Guidance which tells you which types of services a family may need to get support.

Alternatively, you can call ChildLine for advice on 0800 1111 or email them by visiting www.childline.org.uk.
