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 all,
I'm a new user but divorced 10 years and paid CMS before but was unemployed and haven't paid f9r a year. Have now declelared income and do not dispute amount to pay but cannot make d8rect payment as my ex wife refuses to provide bank details.
Any ideas how to make a payment and prove this ??
Any help greatly appreciated.
Hi,
If CMS involved then I suggest you ring them on 0800 171 2345 and ask for her bank details. If she refuses them in theory CMS should close case. Other option is CMS may give you their own account details, you pay into it and they send to her.
@bill337 thanks for your response I'll call again tomorrow, but hace spent at least 6 hours on the phone to the CSA in the last 2 months and everytime placed back in a hold que and then cut off.
