If the young person is considered to be in immediate danger and in need of protection, or if the alleged perpetrator poses a threat to others, a referral should be made to the local social care service and, where appropriate, the police. This should be done immediately. If a crime has taken place, the police must be contacted (999 emergency, 101 non-emergency).

Out Of Hours Support

A person wishing to report a safeguarding concern outside of working hours should contact their Local Authority Out of Hours Social Care Service, which can be found at https://www.gov.uk/report-child-abuse-to-local-council by entering the relevant postcode.
