What to do if you have a concern
What to do if you have a concern
Listen calmly and take the concern seriously. Do not promise secrecy, investigate or confront anyone.
Make a factual record using the child’s own words where possible. Share it promptly with the appropriate safeguarding contact and keep the information private.
Include what happened, when and where, any immediate risk, and a safe way to contact you.
For routine football questions, speak to your coaches. Do not use the general enquiry form to report a safeguarding concern.
