If you have any safeguarding concerns about any of the children that you work with in a professional capacity you must report this to your line manager and/or designated safeguarding lead. They will support you in making contact with the safeguarding/children's social care team in the relevant authority.

As a professional you cannot ask for your conversation to be anonymous. You will have to provide your details and these will be shared with the family. Children's Social Care must act if they believe the child needs help and anonymity cannot be guaranteed.

You may also need to complete a multiagency referral form.
