Spurgeons and Dad.Info doesn’t investigate reports of abuse or neglect. But below, you can find advice on who to contact if you have concerns about a child or young person.
Reporting a concern
It can be difficult to know what to do if you think a child is at risk. It’s important to remember that if you’ve spotted things that don’t seem right, others will have too. Speaking up can make sure that child gets help as soon as possible.
The sooner you contact your local children’s social care duty team, the quicker they can act. They’re available 24 hours a day, and can make an anonymous report if that feels safer. If a child is in immediate danger, please call the police straight away by dialling 999.
Report child abuse or neglect to your local council

Hi just need some advice please, I have a FDR Hearing on the 13th November, as I am the applicant and my ex has no legal representation, I will have to prepare the Electronic Bundle. I have done all the paperwork for the first hearing, unfortunately due to financial circumstances I don't have a laptop or scanner. How much would a law firm charge to compile my paperwork for the Electronic Bundle, or there a cheaper way to do it.
Hi,
you could go internet cafe. take all paperwork with you. scan them and merge into single PDF file. can use sites like PDFmerge.com to do this. or if shop has good version of abode acrobat, can use that. they can help if your unsure how to merge all pages together.
according to court guidance, it states every page should be numbered, typed. (not handwritten page numbers.)
