If you think a child is in immediate danger, don't delay – call the police on 999, or call the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000 straight away.
If you have any concerns or suspicions, contact the free helpline
service to speak to an NSPCC counsellor 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
They will listen to your concerns, offer advice and support and can take action on your behalf if a child is in danger.
You don’t have to tell them who you are if you don’t want to, or you
can ask them not to share your name or contact with the police or social
services.
