What
to do if you are concerned about a child
If you think a child or young person under the age of 18 years is being abused or neglected, please contact Milton Keynes Council Children's Services team or the police to raise your concerns. Do this as soon as you can and before the situation gets any worse.

If you are a child who is being abused or neglected, or think another child is, please click on the Children & Young People area on this website.

What is abuse? Physical abuse – being hit, kicked or punched
Emotional abuse – constantly criticised, ignored, humiliated, exposed to domestic violence
Neglect – not being properly fed or clothed, poor hygiene
Sexual abuse – exposed to inappropriate sexual behaviour, language or assault

What should you do to help? Act promptly
Make a note of your concerns
Give as much information as you can about the child or family

Please don't Ignore your concerns
Think someone else will call
Try to deal with it on your own
