We have a duty to protect children and young people and must investigate any allegation that a child might be neglected or abused and, if necessary, take action to protect the child. If you have concerns about a child's well-being, please don't keep them to yourself. If you contact your nearest Social Services office, you will be asked for some details and someone will discuss your concerns with you.
