Child Protection

If you are worried about the safety or wellbeing of a child, please contact someone straight away. Even small concerns can help protect a child.

• your local social work office
• Police Scotland
• the child’s school or nursery

If you have concerns, do not wait - act now.

You can watch a short YouTube film that explains the types of concerns you should look out for:
