If you are worried or know of a child who could be at risk of being abused, you can talk to staff at school, your Health Centre or local social work office.  Alternatively, you can phone the Out of Hours Standby Service during the evening or weekends to talk to someone about your concerns.

The number for Standby Service and Social Work Services can be found on the panel on the right of the screen
