Together, we can tackle child abuse
If you have concerns about a child
Call us on: 0345 8 503 503 or email social_care_direct_children@wakefield.gov.uk
We all have a role to play in protecting children from child abuse. All children have a right to be safe and protected from all forms of abuse including neglect.
Many people do not act on their suspicions because they’re worried about being wrong. But taking a few minutes to report a safety concern can improve and sometimes save a child’s life.
If you’re concerned about a child’s safety, call 0345 8 503 503. If a child is in immediate danger, you must call 999.
You do not have to give us your personal details such as your name and address.
When investigating a safeguarding issue, we gather information from many sources. Your report would help by forming part of a bigger picture.
