What to do if you think a child is at risk of abuse/neglect
What to do if... Child
If you have concern that a child is being harmed as a result of abuse or neglect, you must not keep these concerns to yourself. Keeping children safe is everyone's responsibility. 

You need to ensure that you speak to the appropriate organisations who can listen to and record your concern, and then take appropriate action.
