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.

After todays news

Have you tried a trial separation? What are your thoughts?

Did it give your relationship helpful breathing space – or was it just delaying the inevitable?

... at least one will be hoping they get back together. However, sometimes the other is sure it is over, but isn't yet saying

I think that sentence probably is the most accurate description. I've been separated twice, but in both cases, I was very clear that it was what I wanted - the divorce was no rush in the first instance, and we both stayed friends (still are very good friends), but I think if you get to that stage, separation is generally going to confirm what you knew in the first place.

Hi,

Yes I agree, when I left my ex, I think there was a feeling that it was short term but I knew from the min I left I wasn't going back, no matter what I said I think there was some hope that I would.

I have never had a trial seperation as I always tried to work through things, until there is no hope left.
