Child Protection Enquiries

What is an enquiry?
It is when someone is worried about you and we want to make sure you are OK.
We know that grown-ups and other young people hurt children or make them feel bad or afraid. You need to know that this should not happen.
 
 
What do we do?
We are called social workers and our job is to listen to you and for you to tell us what happened. We may need to ask the police to be involved. This will be your time to ask any questions and for you to tell us what you think should happen.
 
 
What will happen next?
We will need to talk to other people, like your family, as we will need to find out what has happened and why.
 
 
 
Once we have spoken to everyone we need to speak to, we will decide on what should happen. It maybe that nothing needs to happen. Or we may offer your family some help, and sometimes we need to arrange a meeting called a Child Protection Conference.
 
 

Remember you have done nothing wrong by telling us what has happened to you
