Notify the Police

Duty and interventions must be reported. Knowledge of crime or other information the Police should know is also subject to reporting duties.

Children at risk

Knowledge or suspicion that a child is being harmed must be reported immediately to social services. Follow current training and procedure rather than conducting your own investigation.
