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

hi everyone , a plea for information and help if I may
ive been battling the CSA for 6 years now due to them incorrectly calculating everything
cut a long story short - I used cash that ive saved to buy cars/ etc - these things have been sold etc and monies into my bank - ive proved to the csa that these monies were from sales af private things and nothing to do with csa - but to no joy.
they recently served a large liability order on me .....shock
and aswel as trying to manage my own thoughts in a dark place im now trying to protect what little assets I have left
my question is - premium bonds
are they safe or can they just go help themselves like EVERY main stream bank?
- im at my wits end just now with very little room to move - any help would be a big help
