Raise child safeguarding concerns clearly and without delay.

This route is for concerns about a child or young person. It keeps the emergency boundary, the reporting route, and the basic safeguarding expectations visible without turning the page into a dense policy document.

Use this route when the concern is about a child or young person who may be at risk of abuse, neglect, exploitation, grooming, unsafe treatment, or serious welfare harm.

• the concern is about a child or young person
• you are worried about abuse, neglect, exploitation, grooming, or unsafe treatment
• a disclosure, incident, or pattern of behaviour makes you think a child may not be safe

A fuller public safeguarding policy is not linked yet. The live site should stay honest about that instead of pretending a download is already available.

Use the normal Contact route for ordinary questions, volunteering, partnership discussions, or general support requests. Use safeguarding when the issue is about harm, abuse, neglect, exploitation, coercion, or someone not being safe.
