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.

Interesting article that may resonate with a few of you that are struggling to communicate with your ex partners.....
that is so on the ball, If I didn't know better I'd have thought this was written exactly about my other half......... Points 1,4,5,6,7,8,9 & 10 cover my everyday life at the moment, usually starts with 9 and ends in 8, but never ends in the silent treatment, I think the author got that bit wrong...
Just got to work out how to deal with it...
It's amazing how many people with difficult ex partners identify with this article. Often helps to know you're not alone in this.
Have a look around the site the link is to, there are some good articles on dealing with this type of person.
