Worried about a child’s safety?
If you are concerned about the safety of a child in Devon or want to speak to someone, or if you are a child worried about your own safety, please make a request for support or report a child safety concern.
If a child is at immediate risk, contact the police on 999.
You can find out more about making a request for support along with information about recognising the warning signs of child abuse, finding support and keeping children safe and healthy, on the Devon Safeguarding Children Partnership website.
