If you have concern that a
child is being harmed as a result of abuse or neglect, you
must not keep these concerns to yourself.
KEEPING CHILDREN SAFE IS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY.
In the Bradford district, these are the
numbers that you can ring for advice and to make a referral:
-
If you
have reason to believe that a child is at
IMMEDIATE RISK OF HARM, contact the police on 999
-
During office hours call Children's Social
Services Initial Contact Point - 01274 437500 - (8.30
to 5pm Monday to Thursday, 8.30 to 4.30 on Friday)
-
At all
other times, Social Services Emergency Duty Team - 01274
431010
You need to ensure that
you speak to the appropriate organisations who can listen to
and record your concern, and then take appropriate action.
