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.

[Solved] Still paying child maintenance

Hi I’m have just been contacted by child maintenance regarding new payments but my daughter is 18 and in full time employment as far as I know as don’t see her.
Do I have to continue to pay this agreement which I pay direct to my ex not through them ?
Why would child maintenance still be involved in this or can she get payments backdated ?

hi,

just to confirm, you have been paying maintenance to your ex as a private arrangement? if true, then still your ex can contact CMS and open a case. then CMS take over and will work out what you have to pay. they can not make you do back-dated payments. if she opens a case tomorow, then CMS will make you pay from that date onwards.

you could ask CMS to find out status of child benefit for your daughter. if they won't, you can try but it may be difficult.
