Safeguarding
Child at risk of abuse
Worried about a Child or Young Person? If a child or young person is at risk of harm, abuse, or neglect please report it to Careline 0151 233 3700 or contact the police on 0151 709 6010 or dial 999 in an emergency.
Adults at risk of abuse
Every adult has the right to be treated with dignity, have their choices respected and live a life free from fear.
When people have to rely on others to help them in their day-to-day lives, perhaps because they have a disability, they can be more vulnerable to abuse. Often they are abused by people who are close to them, such as family, friends or paid carers.
How can you help?
You can tell us about your concerns by calling Careline on 233 3800 or contact the police on 0151 709 6010 or dial 999 in an emergency.
