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.

Iwant to contest the order due me being on the course and it had changed my belief system a lot andI would like to be able to communicate to my ex for the sake if our children how do go around convincibg the judge to not to grant it to her.
thanks
Hi there
Have you been seeing your children over the last year?
All you can do is to put your case forward, if you can get any confirmation from the organisers of the course that you are doing well, that might help, but there's no way of predicting the outcome.
I would definitely contest it, as you'd always wonder if you could have changed the result, if you don't.
All the best
well I haven't seen then over a year now only indirect contact allowed.
she just extended it for another year and will keep extending it to get legal aid and make it harder for me to contact the kids
She would be entitled to legal aid whether she extended it or not, a person is entitled to get it for five years after an incidence of DV.
Did you contest it?
Is your case for contact still ongoing?
well I admitted about the dv
thats y I am on the dvpp course I will finish in 2 months and than I can make application for contact.
I will contest the new order next week when i am in court she will claim anxious and fear for the reason she wants extension of order. she should get help its been a year since the incident she should get help and move on.
What I learned is being honest is the best way
Thank you
