Safeguarding and Child Protection

Every child has the right to grow up in a caring and safe environment. Where this is not the case, we have a duty to report concerns.

What to do if you are worried about a child

If you are concerned that a child or young person is being harmed through abuse or neglect you should contact Essex's Children and Families Hub on 0345 603 7627 and ask for the priority line or the Police on 999 in emergency situations. The NSPCC Helpline can be contacted for advice on 0808 800 5000.
