Child Protection Enquiry
Collecting Information

  • Any concern or allegation will be looked into as soon as possible. In the very early stages Children’s Social Care will make enquiries about your family with other agencies such as schools, nursery, GP, Police and Health Services.

  • If it appears necessary you and the child will then be seen by a Social Worker and/or Police Officer to discuss the allegations. This will usually be within 24 hours of the allegation being reported to Children’s Social Care.

  • After these initial enquiries have been completed a decision will be made whether to pursue the matter further. If no further action is to be taken you will be informed of this as soon as possible.
 
Where the allegation came from
  • The workers will try to give you as much information as they can, as long as it does not put anyone else at risk or make the enquiries more difficult.

  • If the concerns came from a member of the public you will not normally be told who it was.

  • If the concerns came from a school, nursery, hospital or similar place, you will usually be told.
