What to do if you are worried about a child

Safeguarding children is everyone's business.

Safeguarding is essentially about keeping children and young people safe from abuse or neglect.

All those who come into contact with children and families in their everyday work, including people who do not have a specific role in relation to child protection, have a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.

In an emergency:

Please contact West Mercia Police on 0300 333 3000

Contact Children's Social Care:

If you have any concerns about a particular child and feel that they may be in need of protection or safeguarding, then please contact children's social care.
