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

Looking for members for Fathers and Sons Football Group
As the name suggests this will involve you and your son playing a game with other dads and their sons
It's a fun and social game designed for exercise and fathers and sons bonding in mind so no rules as such (particularly the offsde!)
There will also be complimentary refreshments
Aim is to play regular weekly games at weekends or weekday evenings
If you have gone through separation or about to this is a great way to get together with your son weekly and do something together you'll both enjoy
free to join and play if you live near West London and can make it to our venue in Paddington as the event is supported there by a charity
Also looking to roll this out in other parts of the country so if you want to get involved and set up your own group where you live we can provide you with flyers, tools etc to get you started
