Protecting children and adults at risk

Relevant information may need to be shared with appropriate services when necessary to protect someone and when the applicable conditions are met.

Safety during virtual assessment

Video assessment includes checking location, privacy, who is present and what to do if the connection fails. Remote assessment should stop or change if it cannot be completed safely or adequately.

No monitored risk reporting on this website

This site has no risk questionnaire or reporting inbox. Do not rely on it to request immediate help or report an urgent safeguarding concern.
