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

What things does your partner do, in your relationship, that makes you feel good ?
For example: someone in the DAD.info office partner makes them a packed lunch every evening for the next day at work.
i get a cup of tea in bed every day
Do you do any thing special for your partner to make her happy?
I get a bowl of cereal in bed when i wake up from night shifts...
and although we are going through very rough patches a topic like this can really make you think or the better things...
i try to make sure dinner is cooked and the house is tied before she comes home from work.
