Concerns for a child

Sometimes you might suspect that a child is at risk of harm or neglect. In other cases, you may know of a family who could benefit from some additional support and help to look after a child better. If you have concerns:-

• Share them with a trusted source such as a Teacher or Police Officer.
• Report a concern through the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub by calling 0151 443 2600
• Contact Merseyside Police on 101 – for emergencies dial 999.

Further information about the reporting options and the support agencies is available here.
