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

@dad1989 Huge, it has doubled my payments!
If you earn 50K and get 50K in shares(that cannot be sold at time of award) then you are assessed as earning 100K if it is all income.
Whereas if the shares are treated as assets then it is 50K plus 8% of 50K for the shares, so total assessment based on £54K
@hrabbit This is my worry. Having a diverse folio of longer-term investments combined with daily swing trading could cause an issue.
Do they distinguish between trading and investing?
In your case, was your share money held on a trading platform, or were you paying it back into your personal bank account?
@dad1989 Probably best if we PM on this one, sure the Forum doesnt really want to read our whinging about these issues. Plus it gives more personal detail than i need to on here 🙂
