Thanks for joining us on the forum – glad to have you here. You are welcome to post 24/7 but please note that whilst we have forum moderators we will only be moderating the forum during office hours. If though you need urgent crisis help, please contact Samaritans on 116 123.
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.
Report child abuse or neglect to your local council

So they've CMS have just taken 1000 out of my account directly through a lympnsum deduction order no warnings nothing if my bank hadn't have told me I'd be none the wiser this was half what was in my account I'm awaiting a DBS to commence work so currently unemployed and they've taken half my funds, if a random person was to do this it would be fraud but there allowed surley this isn't right.
hi,
unfortunately CMS do have these powers. they have been speeding up the process, by not applying to court.
Have you ever changed address in past few years? if you have and haven't told CMS, then possible they were sending letters to old address.
have you checked your online CMS account? could be messages in there.
I recommend you join this support group for paying parents:
