Spurgeons and Dad.Info doesn’t investigate reports of abuse or neglect. But below, you can find advice on who to contact if you have concerns about a child or young person.
Reporting a concern
It can be difficult to know what to do if you think a child is at risk. It’s important to remember that if you’ve spotted things that don’t seem right, others will have too. Speaking up can make sure that child gets help as soon as possible.
The sooner you contact your local children’s social care duty team, the quicker they can act. They’re available 24 hours a day, and can make an anonymous report if that feels safer. If a child is in immediate danger, please call the police straight away by dialling 999.

Hi..newbie here. I have a question around notional income/ assets and CMS calculation it’s is my understanding that my ex can request a variation on the calculation asking for any additional assets of mine to be considered. Long story short I have approx 100k in assets which are split over cash isa, stocks isa, premium bonds and a fixed rate bond. Am gonna be using the money to buy a bigger place for me and the kids when the times right.am in a shoebox right now!..😫
Are these assets assessed collectively or individually?. As only one of the assets is above the £31250 threshold. Understand i have to pay 8% on any assets above that limit. And obviously it’s a lot more money if the full 100k (minus £31250) of assets is subject to the 8%
appreciate any info
thanks
hi,
am not sure on this. the assets may be taken into account collectively, and 8% charge applied. I recommend you join this this support group for paying parents:
