Professional workers with concerns
If you are a professional or a volunteer who comes into contact with children as part of your work, you have a statutory duty to safeguard children and report any allegations or concerns about their welfare or safety.
Similarly, if you have identified a child or young person who could benefit from a service or needs help and support, you have a responsibility to pass this information on to the relevant agency.
The Knowsley Safeguarding Children's Partnership website provides more information about your responsibilities and how to report concerns.
