Child protection

If you believe that a child may be suffering or at risk of significant harm, you must always refer your concerns to the children and families department. We have a duty under the Children Act 1989, to investigate any child protection concerns and to offer support and services to children in need.

If you are part of an organisation (a school for example) and you have concerns about a child please download and complete the form for statutory and voluntary organisations, found below.

Child protection procedures

The manual from the proceduresonline website gives a comprehensive information and guidance on all aspects of child safeguarding across a broad range of agencies and sets out the actions to be taken by all agencies to protect children from harm whenever this occurs or is suspected.

It was produced in co-operation with the other five local safeguarding children boards in Berkshire.
