If you are concerned that a child is being harmed, you must not keep these concerns to yourself.
Contact us and we will make sure you speak to a suitable person. We will listen to and record your concerns and take the appropriate action.
We have a dedicated freephone number and an online form for you to use to share information of any concerns you have about a child or young person within the Bradford District.
