If a child is at immediate risk, call 999.
Contact child services if you are concerned about the welfare or safety of a child.
An assessment looks at the ways we can help children with additional needs carry out key life tasks at home, school and play. You may not always need to make a referral to receive support.
If you are aged 25 and under and look after a family member due to a long term illness or disability, you can access support via Barnardo's Action with Young Carers.
See our young carer's page for more information and how to request support.
Before you contact us, you should be able to find what you need in children's social care.
Accessing social care services online speeds up the process as enquiries are logged straight into our system.
But if you can't find what you're looking for get in touch.
