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
Use these links to get in touch with your local council:
Are you experiencing issues in your relationship? Things not as great as you would wish? Not sure what you can do to improve things?
Take a look at the DAD.info Relationship Tool that we have launched today.
You may find the ideas you need to turn things around.

Just had a look around it and it does seem good however does not take into account if your partner is controlling or abusive.
I run a problem through it and I had done all of the suggestions which had not worked and the alternative suggestions infered the issue was with me. Not listening etc.
Great tool and will assist most with relationship issues. I appreciate you cannot keep everyone happy all of the time but more likely some for some of the time.
Regards,
Dave
Hi Gooner,
I think this tool would be great too, sadly, For me, i've tried what it suggested.
I think that the tool (if it hasn't already) should be placed on the main website homepage or a link to the tool as for some people I'm sure it would help.
Hi Gooner,
This looks interesting. How was it developed? Was it an in-house thing?
On another note, I bet you're feeling confident after Saturday's 2 - 0 win!? 🙂
Thanks for the feedback so far.

Joe - This was developed in conjunction with some other organisations/partners (one plus one, youthnet etc). The aim is to support couples experiencing issues/problems with the couple relationships.
If you haven't checked out the tool please do so - all feedback really is welcomed.
Do you think this would be helpful if you are encountering issues in your relationship ?
Have we missed anything? How can we improve this?
What would be the best way to promote this to dads?
This feedback from DaveR was particularly interesting:
however does not take into account if your partner is controlling or abusive.
I run a problem through it and I had done all of the suggestions which had not worked and the alternative suggestions infered the issue was with me. Not listening etc.
We hope to keep improving this and really want it to be of use.
Thanks
Gooner
