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.

ISW recommendations to write Section 7 Report

Hi,

Can anyone recommend an Independent Social Worker they've used to write a Section 7 report? 

The court agreed to appoint one and my ex agreed to him in court, but has now gone back on that claiming he has a conflict of interest as he's from the same company that provides the ISW that supervises contact (even though she was aware of this when it was agreed).  Therefore, I'm looking at other options in case she won't change her mind or the judge agrees with her.

Thanks

Well, I wanted an experienced one and also wanted an ISW instead of Cafcass doing it to avoid the Cafcass delays and I've heard from others that often their reports are not high quality.
