Worried about a child?
If you are worried about the safety or welfare of a child, please share your concern.
You do not need to be certain that abuse or neglect is taking place. If something does not feel right, it is always better to seek advice.
You can contact school and ask to speak to one of our Designated Safeguarding Leads.
Cumberland Children Advice & Support Service (CASS)
Telephone: 0333 240 1727
CASS provides advice and receives safeguarding referrals where there are concerns about a child.
If you believe a child is in immediate danger, call 999.
What happens if you tell us about a concern?
We will listen carefully and take your concern seriously.
Information will only be shared with people who need to know in order to safeguard the child.
Where appropriate, school may seek advice from or work with Children’s Social Care, the Police, health professionals or another relevant service.
The safety and welfare of the child will always be our priority.
