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, back in 2010 i was arrsted for assult, but which then led to me being re arrested at police station for 4 counts of rape made against me by my ex wife to be, i got bailed for it, and 3 months later went back to police and 3 counts got dropped and got charged with one count which went to crown court and i got found not guilty by jury and no evidence anyway, but now two years down the line i have put in for a contact order to have my kids over night, but the ex is preventing it by all means she can, but the allegations some how is now playing a big part in weather the courts are going to allow me to have my kids over night, the judge has basicly said, that he wants to see everything that happened during the police and courts in regards to the allegations and he is going to read thru all statements and decide for him self weather he feels i should of got guilty or not, and if he feels i should be guilty then he is going to stop me having any type of contact with my kids for good, tho i have had contact with them past two years, and un supervised at that.
please advise what action i should take upon this my self due to im sacking my solictors
Hi, Im sorry I dont really know what to say. I would have thought if you had been found not guilty it shoudnt have been raised, but where children are involved it may be different. It does seem very cruel if you have been having unsupervised contact . How old are your children ? Is your ex still willing to let you have them unsupervised ?
girl is 5 and boy is 8, and no she has now asked for my contact to be supvised, but she also claims she didnt know i was having unsupervised conatc tho my former foster mother has told her that i have took the kids swimming and days out on my own
