What to do if you are worried about a child?

If you think a child in Kirklees is being abused or mistreated or you have concerns about a child's well-being you should call and speak to someone at one of the following numbers:

All calls concerning worries about children are treated seriously and in confidence. You will be asked where the child lives and who looks after the child. Your name will not be given to anyone else without your permission. Enquires will be made immediately.  If it is found that a child is being abused or is at risk of significant harm professionals will work together with the family to ensure that the child can be protected.

Our leaflet Reporting child abuse in Kirklees contains more information about the most common forms of child abuse. 

If you are in any doubt about reporting your concerns don't think 'What if I'm wrong?', think 'What if I'm right?'.
